See you at the screening of the film The Magical World of the Vlachs, on November 22 at 8:00 PM at the Museum of the Paranormal on Lomina 14 street. Following the screening, there will be a discussion with the filmmakers, ethnologist and anthropologist Aleksandar Repedžić, an expert on Vlach culture with 20 years of field research experience, and Anđela Đermanović, PhD in arts.

The Magical World of the Vlachs showcases specific fragments of the intangible Vlach culture in the northeastern region of Serbia: the myth of Muma Paduri, the dragon myth, the pomana customs, the ritual of water pouring, and the folkloric performance of falling into a trance. Through animation, interviews, documentation of performances, and participation in the customs, the authors also share their impressions from the field where the recorded phenomena are analyzed from ethnological and cultural perspectives.

Počudište is a series of short documentary films about the myths, legends, and folk traditions of the Balkans. In Počudište, you will encounter rare and cultural peculiarities, beliefs of the Balkans, phenomena of magic, urban and rural legends, rituals, and also the life of marginalized groups.
