„Anastasia’s Diary” Awarded with the Special Jury Mention at the Northern Lights International Film Festival
“Anastasia’s Diary” by Maxim Bujnicki got Special Jury Mention at the Northern Lights International Film Festival. Jury stated – among others – that the film is “a creative and warm portrait that touches us with its craftsmanship.”
Produced in a framework of the common documentary film directing seminar run by the Andrzej Wajda Film School and the Gdynia Film School, “Anastasia’s Diary” presents the art of Anastasia Rydlevskaya – Belarusian artist struggling against the political repression of the authoritarian government. Deeply evocative, Anastasia’s paintings express a strife of individuals against the overpowering force of the government.
The festival took part between November 13th – 26th, with the screenings held in Tallin and Vilnius due to political reasons. “Anastasia’s Diary” was one of the twelve Belarusian films shown in the competition.
