On the eve of October 22, the hall of the Cultural Center “Jules Pascin” was filled with an audience for the premiere screening of a documentary film dedicated to the cultural and historical heritage of the city.
The event opened with a welcome speech by Billyana Trayanova, author and producer of the film and creator of the popular documentary series “Without Luggage.” In her address, she emphasized the importance of Vidin as a city with a rich cultural past and shared her personal connection to it:
“You will have the opportunity to enjoy a project dedicated to a beautiful city, rich in cultural and historical heritage – Vidin. This is a film that is already traveling the world. Vidin holds a special place in my heart – it is connected to my childhood and unforgettable experiences. I wish everyone to be proud of what we have.”
Among the official guests at the event were Mrs. Borislava Borisova, Deputy Mayor for Humanitarian Affairs, and Mrs. Emilia Nikolova, Head of the Humanitarian Activities Department at Vidin Municipality.
The documentary film, adapted for people with hearing impairments, generated great interest among the audience. After the screening, a discussion was held with Bilyana Trayanova, during which attendees had the opportunity to ask questions and share their impressions of the film.
The screening was part of the Festive Program of Vidin Municipality celebrating Dimitrovden – the city’s holiday – as well as the project “Cultural Marathon – Closer, Closer,” implemented by Art Winner Ltd. with the support of the National Culture Fund under the European Union’s Recovery and Resilience Facility – NextGenerationEU.
