And now he has no other choice but to move with his family to Vileysky district of Belarus. Here is his family nest - inherited old manor with a stunning park. Maybe all is not lost yet? A resourceful entrepreneur decides to take a rather risky step - to turn the estate into... an amusement town called "Kinder-Ville" - a kind of Belarusian Disneyland! Everyone likes the idea, except for the oldest inhabitant of the house - the evil spirit of the wizard, who was buried in the basement for cruelty in ancient times.

name: "Вакол Беларусі на роварах з маторамі" / Around Belarus by Bicycles with Motors

site: YouTube

type: Trailer

overview: Two friends set off on a journey along the borders of Belarus on Chinese bicycles with gasoline engines. 47 days of travel, endless breakdowns and dozens of random encounters add up to sketches about the life of the outskirts of the most Soviet of all post-Soviet countries. Villagers, students, rappers, drunks. The long road gradually erases the line between reality and cinema, and with each kilometer it becomes more difficult to distinguish one from the other.

title: Вокруг Беларуси на велосипедах с моторами

overview: Два друга отправляются в путешествие вдоль границ Беларуси на китайских велосипедах с бензиновыми моторами. 47 дней пути, бесконечные поломки и десятки случайных встреч складываются в зарисовки о жизни окраин самой советской из всех постсоветских стран.

title: Кооператив «Политбюро», или Будет долгим прощанье

overview: Мы смотрим Петренко в роли Сталина, поражаемся его таланту и разрушаем целостность восприятия экранного зрелища. Дело, очевидно, в том, что главным человеком в кино является все же режиссер. И если бы Михаил Пташук нашел убедительную кинематографическую форму реализации сценарного материала, упреков в запоздалости можно было бы избежать. А так - современными выглядят лишь кошмарные рэкетиры, которые в финале убивают несчастных героев, решивших в новое рыночное время заработать, создав своеобразную агитбригаду, ездящую по городам и весям и представляющую живые картинки из жизни деятелей советской истории.

title: Кааператыў «Палітбюро», або будзе доўгім развітанне

overview: Удзел у карціне такога выдатнага акцёра, як Аляксея Пятрэнка, толькі пагаршае сітуацыю расчараванні. Бо буйныя акцёры цікавыя самі па сабе. Мы глядзім Пятрэнка ў ролі Сталіна, дзівімся яго таленту і руйнуецца цэласнасць успрымання экраннага відовішча. Справа, відавочна, у тым, што галоўным чалавекам у кіно з'яўляецца ўсё ж рэжысёр. І калі б Міхаіл Пташук знайшоў пераканаўчую кінематаграфічную форму рэалізацыі сцэнарнага матэрыялу, папрокаў у запозненым можна было б пазбегнуць. А так - сучаснымі выглядаюць толькі кашмарныя рэкеціры, якія ў фінале забіваюць няшчасных герояў, якія вырашылі ў новае рынкавае час зарабіць, стварыўшы своеасаблівую агітбрыгаду, што езьдзілі па гарадах і вёсках і прадстаўляе жывыя карцінкі з жыцця дзеячаў савецкай гісторыі.

More fortunate was his friend, the famous artist Mikhail Antonovich. All his paintings were bought by a western collector. But the banquet arranged by the artist on this occasion turned out to be completely depressing...

overview: Герои фильма — представители творческой интеллигенции. Еще вчера их произведения считались национальным достоянием, однако сейчас они оказались никому не нужны. Известный писатель Иван Андреевич вынужден зарабатывать на жизнь продажей собственных книг с именными автографами. Больше повезло его другу, знаменитому художнику Михаилу Антоновичу. Все его картины купил западный коллекционер. Но совсем невеселым получился банкет, устроенный художником по этому поводу...

title: The Kid's Case

overview: The story of a guy named Yura from the Minsk suburbs, who loves sucking locally-flavored soapy beer, staggers in search of work and tearfully sings while playing his guitar: "Chemistry, chemistry, you little wait for me and remember me."  Having accidentally appeared on an opposition rally dispersed by police, Yura meets an activist of the "Beaver Youth" movement, which exists due to Western grants, and steals a cell phone from their office. And it falls into history, and more precisely, into the field of state interests of the Belarusian state. First, an American spy, and then A.G. Lukashenko himself, begin calling Yura. As a result, “Beaver” nominates a homeless president who has become the next owner of the ill-fated mobile phone, and Yura returns to his “little one,” drinking unbearable domestic beer and watching stupid TV shows.

title: Missing Poetry

overview: In 1937, most members of the Belarusian intelligentsia, including poets, were shot dead in Minsk on a "legal" basis. A few years later, their names were rehabilitated. However, despite this, most of them are still forgotten.  80 years after the tragedy, the young screenwriter begins to collect a portrait of these poets, their life in the 20-30s of the last century. Who were these people? What were their quirks? What inspired them, what they dreamed of and missed the most?

Looking at the surviving walls and furnishings, the imagination itself depicts the history of this place. Sometimes in the empty half-abandoned architectural monuments one can feel the rumble of past epochs, the weight of centuries oversaturated with events.

title: The New Sky Above the New Country

overview: Every year during the summer solstice the Belarusians celebrate “Kupalle”. Kupalle is the triumph of love, abundance of the nature power, unity with the native land. Kupalle always gave the Belarusians the energy charge for the whole next year. Сelebrating Kupalle people used to create new couples, bear healthy children. The contemporary political situation has broken the connection of the Belarusians with their native culture, has replaced the true nation’s spiritual values with the tendency of low-grade mass entertainments. But while the people’s initiative exists, while there are charismatic individuals, who still have the soul power to care about the tradition, so the Belarusian nation lives – side by side with the imposed absurd.

title: Новое небо над новой страной

overview: Ежегодно в дни летнего солнцестояния беларусы отмечают праздник Купалле (Иван Купала). Это торжество единения с родной землей, которое всегда давало белорусам энергетический заряд на целый год. На Купалле создавались новые семейные пары, зачинались дети. Без Купалля нет белорусов. Современная политическая ситуация разорвала связь белорусов с родной культурой, традицией, подменила истинные духовные ценности нации тенденцией низкопробных массовых развлечений. Но народная инициатива живёт, и живут традиции, и живёт Беларусь - бок о бок с навязанным абсурдом.

Туляга испуган. Он просит никому об этом не говорить. Но разговор подслушивает сплетник Зелкин и передает его директору института Горлохватскому. Кроме того, он распространяет слух о том, что новая рукопись Черноуса, накануне раскритиковавшего Зелкина, получила плохие отзывы.

title: Mara. Białoruski sen

overview: Jak mogłaby wyglądać opowieść Alicji, gdyby zamiast na drugą stronę lustra trafiła do Mińska podczas demonstracji w sierpniu 2020 roku? Utrzymany w poetyce sennego marzenia film Saszy Kułak to bardzo osobista historia białoruskich protestów, czasu nadziei i społecznej jedności, gdy zdawało się, że wszystko jest możliwe. Odrealnionym zdjęciom protestów, w których brała udział autorka filmu, towarzyszą stylizowane sceny surrealistycznego przedstawienia. Kiedy bezwzględna reakcja milicji i wojska brutalnie unicestwi marzenie o wolności, pozostanie jedynie czekać na interwencję Czerwonej Królowej… Białoruski sen zmienia się w koszmar, a mgliste marzenia – w konkretnie bolesne świadectwa prześladowań i tortur.

title: Voices. Where My Homeland Is

overview: In August 2020, people gathered on the steps of the Belarusian State Philharmonic in Minsk to protest against the fraudulent presidential election. Holding signs that read "Our voice has been stolen", they stood up to the violence by singing together. Although the authorities pacified this spontaneous gathering, musicians soon began to appear on protest marches in shopping centers and subways, each time inspiring people with songs about the dignity, courage, fate and faith of Belarusians. This is how one of the symbols of the Belarusian resistance movement - the "Free Choir" - was born .

title: Voices. Where My Homeland Is

title: Голоса. Где мой край

overview: В августе 2020 года люди собрались на ступеньках Белорусской государственной филармонии в Минске, чтобы выразить протест против фальсификации выборов. Они держали плакат «У нас украли голос» и могли противопоставить насилию только спетые вместе белорусские песни. Белорусские силовики согнали их со ступенек, но вскоре хор стал неожиданно появляться на маршах протеста, в торговых центрах и метро, воодушевляя людей песнями о достоинстве, смелости, судьбе и вере белорусов. Так родился один из символов белорусского сопротивления – “Вольный хор”. Во время акций и концертов певцы соблюдали меры безопасности и прятали лица. Надеясь запугать активистов, милиция несколько раз задерживала предполагаемых дирижеров и участников коллектива. Но «партизанский» хор продолжал свои отважные флэшмобы. Это очень разозлило власти они начали настоящую охоту на “Вольный хор”. Людей увольняли с работы и сажали на сутки в тюрьму. Избегая преследований, многие из участников были вынуждены покинуть Беларусь.

overview: Даўным-даўно не было ў людзей агню. І запалак не было, каб яго развесці. Ні пячы запаліць, ні скварку падсмажыць, ні кашу зварыць. А зімой асабліва пакутаваў народ - сцюжа і холад вакол. І тады людзі вырашылі здабыць кавалачак сонца, але як да яго дабрацца? Сонца высока, а крылаў людзі не маюць. Пайшлі людзі ў лес, прасіць птушак, каб нехта з іх дапамог, прынёс агню ад сонца. Усе птушкі адмовіліся ляцець да сонца, але ўсё ж знайшоўся адзін смяльчак - маленькая сінічка. Яна схапіла лучыну і паляцела да сонца, каб прынесці людзям агонь...  Дабраўшыся да сонца, адважная сінічка прынесла яго кавалачак людзям, але пазбавілася ўсіх сваіх пёрак. І тады іншыя птушкі вырашылі даць ёй па пярынцы, каб выратаваць.  Па матывах казкі беларускага пісьменніка Уладзіміра Дубоўкі.

title: Sergej Vojcechovský, generál bez vlasti

overview: Ako v najťažších podmienkach občianskej vojny, medzivojnového obdobia a začiatku druhej svetovej vojny dokázal generál Vojcechovský zachrániť česť ruského dôstojníka a bol užitočný pre Rusko i Československo... Na začiatku 20. storočia boli Česko a Slovensko súčasťou rakúsko-uhorskej monarchie. Vyvíjali značné úsilie o vytvorenie vlastného nezávislého štátu. Po vypuknutí prvej svetovej vojny prešli tisíce Čechov a Slovákov na stranu Ruska, aby bojovali proti Rakúsko-Uhorsku. Dobrovoľníci čoskoro vytvorili divíziu a napokon Československý zbor. V auguste 1917 bol rodák z Vitebska Sergej Vojcechovský vymenovaný za náčelníka štábu 1. československej divízie. V tejto vojne sa prejavil ako skvelý veliteľ, stratég a organizátor. Žiadny iný dôstojník sa netešil takému uznaniu medzi československými legionármi ako Vojcechovský. Všetko sa zmenilo v októbri 1917. Cárska armáda prestala existovať. Bolo zbytočné pokračovať v boji.

Po vypuknutí první světové války tisíce Čechů a Slováků přešly na ruskou stranu, aby bojovali proti Rakousko-Uhersku. Z dobrovolníků brzy vznikla divize a posléze československý sbor. V srpnu 1917 byl do funkce náčelníka štábu 1. československé divize jmenován rodák z Vitebska, Sergej Vojcechovský. V této válce se projevil jako skvělý velitel, stratég a organizátor. Žádný jiný důstojník se nepožíval u československých legionářů takového uznání jako Vojcechovský. Všechno se změnilo v říjnu 1917. Carská armáda přestala existovat. Pokračovat v boji bylo marné.

title: Yanka Kupala

overview: Yanka Kupala, Belarusian poet and writer, is one of the spiritual symbols of Belarus. He did everything to make Belarusians feel like a full-fledged people. This is a figure that cannot be reduced by anything from the height of modernity. But the weight of recognition, inclusion in the ranks of the classics leads to petrification of the face. The authors of the film remove this petrification - verses sound throughout the film. Patriotic songs that sing the praises of Belarus and our people, awaken them from historical apathy and eternal longing. Mystics who whisper about the revival of the past that sleeps in the mound. And intimate and lyrical, filled with intimate beauty, eternal sensuality and lust for life.

title: Borderline. Where the World Ends

title: Край свету

overview: Пра фільмГадзіна на машыне ад літоўскай сталіцы Вільнюса да беларускай мяжы, дзе кожны ахвотны трапіць з «вольнага Захаду» ў «апошнюю дыктатуру Еўропы» мусіць прайсці строгі памежны кантроль. Пераход мяжы – доўгі, у чымсьці абсурдны працэс. Аднак ёсць тыя, хто цярпяць яго амаль штодня: людзі, у якіх міждзяржаўная мяжа праходзіць проста праз двор. Каб па-ранейшаму завітаць да сваякоў і сяброў, наведаць касцёл ці могілкі, ім трэба прадрацца праз бюракратычнае пекла раскладаў, дазволаў і візаў. Яскравая ілюстрацыя «задворкаў Еўропы», парадоксу вольнай Шэнгенскай зоны, што раздзяляе грамадства, сем’і і жыцці.

overview: Two activists, Alina and Ihar, have been fighting for a stronger presence of the Belarusian language for over a decade.  In Belarus, Belarusian, despite being a state language, has been marginalized and excluded from most public spheres.  Writing appeals to state institutions and companies to enforce a current law has been for Alina and Ihar the main form of resistance against the dominance of the Russian language.  This activism has put them in danger, when after the 2020 rigged elections in Belarus repressions reached an unprecedented level.  Escaping persecution, Alina and Ihar have fled their house and gone into hiding inside their own country – the choice the danger of which would be rethought only much later.
