On 10.07.2009, in the eve of the start of "Galichnik Wedding 2009", a very important event took place in the church St. Petar i Pavle in Galichnik. An event, whose importance was not covered enough by the media, no matter been shadowed by the main manifestation, and therefore it deserves to  be dedicated with some space on Galichnik-Official. A reason more, represents the fact that part of the people who followed this event, after the end, were behaving as if they were watching a classic cinema performance, not a projection which has far greater meaning.

 

That Friday night, for the first time since the cinema in Galichnik stopped working, a movie projection was held, or more specific, two films Galichnik and Galichnik Wedding were played - the first one from Sifrid Miladinov from 1939, and the second one from Gordana Andreevska (who also had the  introduction speech) and Marjan Stojnev from 2008. Information about the two films had already been posted on this site, but important is the moment - projection of the first and the last color movie made with themes from Galichnik. The evening of projections was complemented with an exhibition of old photographs from the Kumanovo native Miladinov, as well as from the first person from Galichnik who began to take interest in that field - Aleksa Gjinoski.

 

But the most important part of the evening was the appearance of Sifrid's grandson, Ivan, in a role of a special guest, who had addressed the attendants expressing his gratitude for the attention given to his grandfather and his work, and also to himself with the given souvenirs with motifs from Galichnik as presents from the organizers as a thankfulness for the affirmation of Galichnik. Returning at the "scene of the crime", he said that it is a great honor for him that after 70 years after his grandfather, he will also make a film about Galichnik and the wedding ceremony, so that he can  note this anniversary.

 

  

 

  

 

Let us hope that we will have an oppurtunity Ivan's movie to be projected in Galichnik also, when it is finished. We believe that many people are  impatient to see it. At the end we express gratitude to the other grandson of Sifrid Miladinov, Kiril, who unfortunately did not manage to arrive in Galichnik together with Ivan, for the given photographs from his grandfather.
