A bitter twist of fate: during the drawing of demarcation lines between the Soviet Republics in 1939 nobody dared remove Stalin’s pipe from the map, consequently the borders were drawn around it.

Yanka Kupala

Yanka Kupala 2017

1

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.

The New Sky Above the New Country

The New Sky Above the New Country 2019

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.
