The Lost River: screening on 11.09
We cordially invite you to the only screening of the documentary film "The Lost River" during the Millennium Docs Against Gravity Festival. It's already on September 11, at 4:15 PM at the Kinoteka in Warsaw. InfoCredit is the patron of the first documentary about the Urzecze, a land on the Vistula River, which stretched between the former mouths of the Pilica and Wilga and Siekierki and Saska Kępa.
The Urzecze was farmed by, among others, the Olęders, agricultural innovators who came from Frisia and the Netherlands to the area of today’s Saska Kępa in Warsaw in the 17th century. They used the fertile alluvial soils brought by the Vistula during floods and achieved record harvests. The Urzecze was Warsaw’s granary. Building materials: sand, gravel and stones, flowed from here to the capital.
Today, the Olęders on the Vistula are gone. They disappeared just before the end of World War II. However, we can still recall their history and contribution to the development of Warsaw and the region. It was brought closer to us by the creators of the film – Adam Rogala and Wiktor Strumiłło.
As a patron of the film, we cordially invite our Clients to this exceptional screening. Please register now – due to the great interest in the Festival, the number of places is limited.
The creators of the film, together with the Wawer District, are planning the next screenings in September (outdoor, in the Romantic Beach complex and in October (in the hall of the Wawer Culture Center). We will inform you about the dates soon.
