The Pearls of Polish Animated Films.

Polish Cinema Actresses is an exposition composed of biographies and achievements of 55 actresses who represent different generations from prewar to today. The actresses were selected by two ways. The list was presented by the committee of prominent representatives of cinema: the writer and scriptwriter J. Głowacki, cameraman and director S.Idziak, producer and director M.Kwieciński, director B. Lankosz and actor and director B.Linda. The names that were selected by the committee were supplemented by the second list which was compiled by the visitors of www.filmweb.pl website. The authors of actors' portraits are also fotoartists from different generations: P. Bujnowicz, E. Hartwig, K.Gierałtowski, Z. Nasierowska, R. Pajchel, W. Plewiński, T. Rolke. They were related to the cinema world for many years; therefore, they have managed to convey much more than its glitter and colours. Over years many exhibition portraits took on dramatic strokes of history . The portraits perpetuate not only personalities of actresses and their beauty but also their dreams and concerns. It is said that photographs record that only moment like caging it in. But the true photograph reveals much more. You can make sure of that at this exhibition.

Prayer for Vilnius: Works of Love After the Great Fire of Vilnius on May 18th 1706, many residents of Vilnius claimed to have experienced the help of the Virgin Mary and some of them even claimed to have seen how the Blessed Virgin Mother extinguished the flames above the Church of St. Theresa and the Gates of Dawn. The residents prayed in front of the painting of the Mother of Mercy and thanked for the rescue. And today we gather at the Gates of Dawn to thank Mary and ask her for her care and protection of our city. The prayer for Vilnius is like a reverberation of an old tradition, which has faded throughout the time, but is still remembered and significant today. The Gates of Dawn Chapel, Aušros vartų str. 14
