GOMEL, 14 August (BelTA) - The organizers of the Call of Polesie festival have announced the lineup for the open-air cinema, BelTA has learned.

One of the highlights of the 9th international festival of ethnocultural traditions Call of Polesie will be the interactive venue Partisan Land: Women’s Faces of Victory, featuring an open-air cinema.

The centerpiece of this location is an installation called Living Pages, a wall stylized as enlarged pages from Galina Dokutovich’s diary Heart and Wings. A children’s workshop, Wings of Victory, will also take place. In addition, two exhibition displays will be organized: one featuring photographs, documents, and everyday items of female pilots, and another titled Heroines of the Belarusian Land, dedicated to Belarusian women who participated in the Great Patriotic War.

The festival cinema’s lineup includes Belarusian-produced films under the overarching theme Women of Belarus: History and Modernity. These include documentaries such as Little Heroine of a Big War, Nadia, Go For It!, Children of War, and The Abode of Saint Euphrosyne, as well as feature films Homeroom Teacher and The Clocks Stopped at Midnight.

The international festival of ethnocultural traditions Call of Polesie is traditionally held every two years in the picturesque agrotown of Lyaskovichi. The event is aimed at preserving and promoting ethnocultural traditions, studying and supporting the area’s rich historical and cultural heritage, and strengthening creative ties.
