description

The films from the Surowiec family archive were recorded in the first half of the 1980s, probably between 1983 and 1984. Most of them were shot during business trips abroad.
Part 1
The scenes take place on the street. The camera captures the streets of a residential area with single-family houses, parked cars, and pedestrians. The filming location is situated on a hill, offering a view of the city lying in the valley and the surrounding mountains. The film was likely shot in Ankara, Turkey. One of the frames clearly shows a sign of the Turkish bank Yapı Kredi, followed shortly by a minaret.
Part 2
Various short shots from a mountain trip. A couple is walking down a hill toward the water. The man and woman are laughing and fooling around, pretending they are about to fall into the water. The woman is calling out to a sheepdog. Sheep in the pasture.
Part 3
The camera observes a modern, open space of an urban park. It portraits the woman against this background.
