Get Your Hopeless Cinema Fix: Belarusian Films Take Over Kino Petrohradská
Join us for a special two-night event featuring the coolest Belarusian films of 2022 at Kino Petrohradská in Prague.
Experience the raw and rebellious world of Belarusian Cinema Konchenyy (translated as Hopeless or Fucked Up), a movement that pushes the boundaries of traditional film production and explores the depths of artistic expression through no-budget, genre-defying films that refuse to conform to societal norms.
On the first night, don't miss Viktor Lebedev and Anna Den's FAMILY MAN, a harrowing exploration of a young father driven to murder his wife and daughter in a fit of rage. Next up is Vladimir Kozlov's SUMMER OF '89, a coming-of-age tale set in the tumultuous summer of 1989 in Belarus.
On the second night, we'll be showing the Czech premiere of the highly acclaimed A DATE IN MINSK by Nikita Lavretski, winner of the Best Film in International Competition at Doclisboa. Follow the tumultuous relationship of Nikita and Volha as they navigate their place in both their personal and national histories. The screening will be preceded by a cinematic mixtape of short films selected by the director, showcasing the true, authentic, and majestic Minsk.
Don't miss out on these unique and powerful films. Whether you're a hardcore cinephile or just curious about Belarusian cinema, there's something for everyone at this event. See you there!
