Janusz Dybkowski (1954–2003) was a photographer and journalist who collaborated with numerous editorial offices, including “Tygodnik Piotrkowski” and “Dziennik Łódzki”. In Piotrków, he documented significant local events and the daily life of the city. His film collection consists of both footage of family life and documentary materials.

A shot in front of the cinema building. A band is playing, and the audience is getting bigger. In the cinema lobby, there is an exhibition dedicated to the history of the “Ruby Hortensia” literary competition, which took place between 1965 and 1973. The exhibition showcases photographic records of previous editions of the contest and exhibits of glassware produced at Huta Szkła Gospodarczego „Hortensja”. For years, the glassworks manufactured ruby-red trophies awarded to the competition’s winners.
