The Last Summer

The Last Summer 2000

The film documents a group of underground conceptual artists and performance artists active in the folk art scene of Chengdu, China. It captures their process of engaging in underground art creation and organizing underground art exhibitions during the summer of 1999, the final summer of the 20th century. The summer of 1999 was a tumultuous period in Chinese politics. It marked the tenth anniversary of the Tiananmen Square incident in 1989, the outbreak of the "Falun Gong incident," and the moment when Taiwan's leader, Lee Teng-hui, made the "two-state theory" declaration, almost leading to a war between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait. These underground artists used their creations to reflect their understanding and perspectives on Chinese history and contemporary society. However, their actions were constantly under official surveillance.

At the turn of January and February 1946, a Special Action Unit of the National Military Union, commanded by Lieutenant Rajs, pseudonym "Bury," pacified five villages, killing 80 people. The victims were exclusively Orthodox Belarusians. Among the dead were 28 carters, kidnapped on the outskirts of the Białowieża Forest to transport the Unit. After a few days, when the carters had fulfilled their task, they were shot and buried in a mass grave. It took 50 years before the families of the murdered could learn the fate of their loved ones. After half a century, on the initiative of a committee bringing together the families of the victims, an exhumation was carried out. The religious ceremonies accompanying the burial of the remains of the shot carters were attended not only by the families of the victims, but also by the local community, both Belarusians and Poles, who showed their solidarity with them.
