Belarusian independent cinema: where are we, who are we, where are we heading?
Independent cinema in Belarus is currently going through odd times, when directors have dispersed around the world and are unable to come back and produce films in their homeland. What does the filmmaking process look like in exile? During the online discussion, the authors of the movies featured in the Belarusian "Northern Lights" program will discuss where they currently feel at home and whether they manage to find the motivation and opportunities to create films, stand in solidarity with their peers, and maintain contact with their audience. The conversation will be moderated by the director of "Northern Lights", Volia Chajkouskaya, and cultural expert Maxim Zhbankov.
