Schoolchildren visit the documentary exhibition «The Golden Age of Belarusian Cinema»

On December 26, 2024, as part of the «Archives for School» campaign, as well as the Cooperation Agreement, a tour was held at the National Archives of the Republic of Belarus for students of Minsk Secondary School No.62. The children got acquainted with the documentary exhibition «The Golden Age of Belarusian Cinema», dedicated to the 100th anniversary of Belarusian cinema.

Schoolchildren saw original archival materials showing the origins of Belarusian «cinematography» in the 20-30s of the 20th century, rare photographs of famous domestic directors, screenwriters and artists who created unique artistic images that have forever entered the golden fund of Belarusian cinema.

The schoolchildren and their teachers were especially interested in the artifacts, many of which had never been exhibited before: costumes, props for iconic films – «A Girl is Looking for Her Father», «The Wild Hunt of King Stakh», «The Black Castle of Olshansky», «The Adventures of Buratino», «White Dews», «Anastasia Slutskaya» – what made Belarusian cinema famous throughout the world.
