In this series of videos, the participants in the previous editions of the FESTIVAL OF THE CHILDREN OF MOUNTAINS, both the young ones and the grown-ups, talk about the unique idea of “making festival friends,” striking up long-lasting acquaintanceships, and all that remains after the Festival.
The interviews recorded in the private spaces of the festival participants address their personal impressions and experiences gained during the Festival, as well as offer an opportunity for a substantive discussion of the issues concerned with the significance of a young person's membership of a folk ensemble.
Piotr Gąsienica, the deputy director of the SOKÓŁ Małopolska Culture Centre, travels back in time to review the twenty-eight years of the FESTIVAL OF THE CHILDREN OF MOUNTAINS, and with the benefit of the possibilities offered by cyberspace, several generations of ensemble members can open their welcoming home fronts doors to us. They represent the following groups: DUNAJEC and CZARDASZ from Niedzica, Heródek ORAWIANIE from Lipnica Wielka, MAŁY SKALNIK from Kamionka Wielka, Rev. Antoni Siuda MALI MANIOWIANIE from Maniowy, MAŁE FLISOKI from Sromowce Niżne, MAŁE PODEGRODZIE from Podegrodzie, MAŁE LACHY from Nowy Sącz, MAJERANKI from Rabka-Zdrój, MALI ŚWARNI from Nowy Targ, MALI BIAŁCANIE from Białka Tatrzańska, MALI NIECIECZANIE from Nieciecza, MAŁE PIWNIOCOKI from Piwniczna-Zdrój.
