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.

Film shot in Włodzimierzów, dated 1981-1982.
Part 1
A double-exposed film shows Agatka playing with Ewa, Jacek, and a young woman. The little girl is building sandcastles, walking around the plot, hugging her mom and the other woman, watering flowers using a can, and bathing in an inflatable pool. Jacek is hanging a swing on a tree and then swinging his daughter. Two men are preparing to launch a kayak.
Part 2
A double-exposed film shows scenes at a bathing beach and during a walk. Jacek and Ewa are playing with Agatka. In another frame, the family is sitting in front of the house at the summer plot. Joanna is also there.
