Voices. Where My Homeland Is

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 .

Cellar

The English poet and playwright William Shakespeare said: "All the world's a stage. And all the men and women merely players.» After observing, I can say that the whole world is a cellar and people are icicles in it. A few more moments and we will disappear - melt. Or maybe it's not about how much we have left? It is only necessary not to miss an important point. The film is a poetic film, a kaleidoscopic fairy tale journey to an old cellar, in which one winter morning, for strange reasons, the walls from the inside were covered with a thick layer of icicles.

Fiddly Bits

“Fiddly Bits” is a short ethnographic documentary about hobbyists who play the table-top miniature wargame Warhammer 40,000. The film focuses on three hobbyists and their conversation as they assemble and paint miniature figurines for use in the table-top game. Most broadly, “Fiddly Bits” considers how identity is navigated, negotiated, and constituted through the medium of miniature wargame figurines. Topics discussed include political geographies of the local wargaming community, gender stereotypes and counternarratives among hobbyists, and the extent to which customizing one’s miniatures may or may not be an articulation of the self. The film also depicts hobbyist techniques of sprue cleaning, assembly, painting, miniature organization, tool usage and maintenance, and error correction in comparative perspective.
