International Salon of Amateur Cine Photography

Daniel Miedzinski was involved in amateur cine-photography which occupied the greater part of his time for eight years. He represented South Africa four times at this International Salon, winning several certificates of merit (Copenhagen 1963, Amsterdam 1964, Dubrovnic 1965, Barcelona 1967).

In 1964, he was awarded a bronze plaque in the Abstract Animated Section for his semi-abstract space film "Orion's Eye" and in 1967 the Lion Trophy, South Africa's premier award, for "Escape", a purely abstract conception in which he used transparent plastic forms which moved to the music of "Slaughter on Tenth Avenue" (see ARTLOOK January, 1970, p. 18)

Business Interests

Daniel Miedzinski and family owned a well-known dress making business, S.H. Matz (Pty) Ltd., in Johannesburg's then prime business area on the corner of Eloff and Jeppe Streets, near Gallery 101. They later moved the business to the Carlton Centre, Johannesburg, and after closing it down, they travelled briefly to Canada. They have been living in Emmarentia, Johannesburg, since then.
