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.

Part 1
Various shots from a summer cabin. Joanna Miller is spending time with her younger granddaughter. Ewa Miller is sunbathing, with her two daughters playing nearby. The woman picks fruit from a bush and feeds her younger daughter. Later, she plays badminton with her older daughter Agatka, while the younger girl watches them from the cabin steps. The camera captures her first attempts at playing badminton. Last frames show Ania swinging on a swing.
Part 2
Four children – including the Miller sisters – are feeding rabbits.
Part 3
The Miller sisters are picking and eating fruit. Later, they are playing with a ball.
