Film Screening: The Singing Revolution

Description

From September 16 through November 4, the Liriodendron Foundation is hosting “Relationships” - the first ever international art exhibit to be held at the historic Liriodendron mansion. Featuring paintings, drawings, sculpture, and textiles from artists in Bel Air’s sister city, Narva, Estonia, along with a photo exhibit and silent film depicting life in Estonia in the early 1900s, the exhibit celebrates Maryland’s deep and rich history of cooperation with Estonia. The Liriodendron will screen two documentary films which explore the significance of music in Estonia’s identity and independence. The first film - “The Singing Revolution” - is an inspiring account of how the Estonian people peacefully regained their freedom from decades of Soviet Occupation through song. Q&A with members of the Bel Air - Narva Partnership Committee will follow the film.
