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 man is walking in the orchard, picking and tasting apples. There is a pile of wooden crates, many of them broken. Another man is in a flower garden, cutting sword lilies. A cat is wandering around him.

A woman is sitting at a table in a room. A close-up of the windowsill with blooming flowers in pots.
Part 3
A street scene. An elderly man approaches a display case and stops to read the announcements. A close-up of a commemorative plaque embedded in the wall of a tenement house, honoring the death of partisan Marian Król in February 1944.
Part 4
A shot of a fairly busy street. A young man starts running toward a bus standing at the stop. An elderly man is chatting with street vendors. More and more people are gathering around the notice board. Some people are standing by a candy store window. Pedestrians are walking briskly along the sidewalk. A horse-drawn cart passes by, and a few cars pull up.
Part 5
A shot of a camping field. People are sitting in small groups at portable tables or on the ground. In one group, a young man is playing the guitar. Another group is gathering around a designated campfire area.
