description

This collection of films was recorded by a married couple, Paweł and Joanna Morzyszek. Amateur films shot on 8 mm and Super 8 film reels document family life: celebrations, holidays, vacations, and travels. The archive covers materials from a 20-year period, from 1968 to 1988, which allow us to follow the growing up of Paweł and Joanna’s children – Ewa and Tomek – and their granddaughters – Agata and Anna.

The film was made in 1977 during Joasia’s visit to Marta in England.
Part 1
Footage shot at home. Decorative ceramics hang on the walls. Marta serves tea on a tray, while Joanna and another woman are having liqueur.
Part 2
The camera observes the Changing of the Guard at Buckingham Palace in London. The following shots are glimpses of sightseeing in the British capital: a street decorated with British flags, mounted police, iconic black cabs.
