description

Zygmunt Buda was born in Poznań in 1924 and was interested in photography since his childhood. From 1941, he worked in the Poznań photographic company Foto-Stewner, founded by Ernest Stewner. After the end of the war, he worked as a photographer in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, from which, in the 50s, he was dismissed for political incorrectness. From the 60s, he worked in the Film Services Department at the corner of Marszałkowska and Krucza streets in Warsaw. Zygmunt recorded films with a business camera with a 16-millimeter tape and a private SANYO camera with an 8-millimeter tape, which he received as a gift from a family living in the USA. His sons, Jacek and Marek, as well as the next generations of the Buda family, also became enthusiasts of filming family life.
The film was made in the summer of 1964 or 1965 in Warsaw. At the Tadeusz Kościuszko Primary School No. 130 at today’s 27 Niepodległości Avenue (in the year of the film’s creation, this fragment of the avenue did not yet exist) scouts get prepared to go to the camp in Serpelice by the Bug River. The boys carry sacks that probably contain provisions for the coming weeks.
