description

The materials from the Indyk family archive come from the 1980s. Their author began her filmmaking adventure at the age of 17. She shot her first films with a Soviet-made LOMO camera bought at a photo store on Bracka Street in Warsaw, and developed them at a photo lab near Constitution Square. She sometimes turned her filming attempts into social activities, engaging friends as actors. She used a RUS projector to screen the films.

The film was made around 1980 in Warsaw’s Żoliborz district near Lelewela Square. The short recording documents a walk of Maciej, the author’s young nephew. His distinctive way of walking is caused by an illness – the boy suffered from Duchenne muscular dystrophy.
