Carnival Madness

Hello everyone!

Cultural heritage is one of the indicators that are present in every civilized society and shows us how deeply we are willing to go into the traditions that have constituted us as a community.

In my town, the Carnival procession is one of those annual events supported by both the residents and the local community - the municipality. The Carnival as an event is one of the few remaining from pagan times and its symbolic meaning is that the beautiful and the good, and the ugly, and the evil characters together chase the winter away as soon as possible.

Carnival Madness is a kind of documentary video record of the carnival procession on Sunday 19.2.2023 in Ilirska Bistrica. Last time I posted a photo record of the carnival, and now here is a video summary.
The masks are of all kinds, from modern to traditional, which have been seen in our area since the 14th century.

Otherwise, it is difficult to compress two hours of footage into 14 minutes. :)

Edited in Adobe Premiere, video footage is under CC BY 4.0, the sound of the original event is mixed with public domain set Mimeophanix Cimexadust by Kaleidoplasm.

You're free to share, adapt, remix the material for any purpose, even commercially.
