On International Children’s Day, in Gr. Vieru Park in Cahul, the huge letters MOLDOX shined in a special activity, sparking excitement and anticipation among the city’s residents ahead of the eighth edition of the Moldox International Documentary Film and Social Change Festival.
The festival organizers provided an opportunity for those eagerly awaiting the event to take photos in front of the letter corresponding to the initial of their name. Children were encouraged to draw the cover of a film about themselves, and their participation in the activities was extremely enthusiastic. However, it became evident that the shining MOLDOX letters in the park were the main attraction for the little ones, who climbed on them and enjoyed the festive atmosphere.
The festival’s executive director, Elvira Drangoi, stated, “We are delighted to see that people eagerly await the Moldox Festival every year. Our pre-event activities, such as the MOLDOX letters exhibition, have created an atmosphere of excitement and anticipation within the community. We aim for Moldox to become not only a documentary film festival but also a place of self-development and self-discovery for the youth of Cahul.”
In a note of enthusiasm and hope for the future, the organizers aspire for Moldox to include documentary films for children in its program in the future. This would provide the growing audience in Cahul with the opportunity to familiarize themselves with the world of cinema and discover the value and power of documentary films from a young age.
The Moldox International Documentary Film and Social Change Festival will take place from June 21st to 25th in Cahul, the cultural-creative capital of the Republic of Moldova. The festival brings to the audience an impressive selection of documentary films from around the world, covering contemporary social and political themes. With an engaging program and interactive events, Moldox continues to be a must-attend event in the cultural calendar of Cahul and the entire region.
