Waching daily Mar 4 2018

I'm Simon James Pettitt,

I'm a larp designer

and larp player.

I'm Dagmar.

I'm Sasha, I'm 25

and my first MLF was in 2014.

I am Kristoffer

and this is Kirstine.

My name is Lena.

I'm Hanna.

I'm Gints,

I went to Minsk Larp Festival in 2017.

This is going to be my third MLF,

third

So here are two reasons why I think you should go to MLF.

We think that you should go this year because it is a fantastic place to be.

Such an unforgettable experience you can't get in any other place and time.

I remember vividly my impressions from the first MLF.

I felt like Alice who fell down the rabbit hole.

Even though I did things basically the last moment, I had an excellent time.

I got to meet some very lovely people again,

but most importantly I got to play some wonderful larps.

Larps help you explore new worlds,

hell yeah

You explore yourself and get to understand yourself.

Larp is of course a pure form of art, but can also be a professional tool.

My favourite part of larping is learning process,

since Alice, while falling down the rabbit hole, tried to remember multiplication tables, btw

And larps encourage you to think about things you wouldn't probably contemplate in your everyday life.

Games you get to play, they are so different from what you've tried.

They really have their own separate game culture.

Things that are happening with larp and development of civic society are very interesting

and it's the best place to experience it.

It's well organized; as a designer I have been treated this nicely, so I really enjoyed it.

It's new people who can become either your best friends or reliable business partners.

It's projects you didn't know exist. Dreams you couldn't even imagine.

The second reason is Minsk itself. It's a really interesting city that you owe yourself to experience.

We think that you should go to a week-in as well

because you get to meet all the very nice people and experience Minsk as a city and the history of Minsk.

MLF is a unique microcosm.

On the one hand, you're in Minsk, within the borders of Belarus.

On the other hand, you happen to be around all these fantastic people who speak various languages or English,

you play larps together, and someone you met for the first time, say, 30 minutes ago

may become a close person for you in three hours.

And of course there was dancing into the morning, discussing philosophy at lunch,

sudden sing-alongs in the street, ideas, inspiration.

Weekend full of love, laughter, tears, larp,

all sorts of things.

And I really wanna see you there, I'm gonna be there.

The people at MLF will gladly help you experience this unique town

and very creative and unique youth that lives there.

Why you should support the festival at crowdfunding platform Talaka?

MLF is a special forum for international communication

since it brings together people from different countries

who may have different views and opinions but will find the way to understand each other.

Moreover, I believe that larp enables us to become active citizens as it can be a tool

which helps you touch upon and process current essential issues.

I certainly went home much richer than I'd come.

If you can't make it, please support them.

I think the job they're doing is really really important.

So… that was my two reasons and I think you should go.

I am going to MLF.

And I think you should too, I'm looking at you.

Come to MLF, have fun, play larps, join the party.

Touch the magic that we so want to share!

See you there.
