FILM SCREENING
Colour Me Free
Canada, 2007 (48 minutes)
Directed by Areta Lloyd
English subtitles
Contact: Areta Lloyd < oystermedia at rogers.com >
Areta Loyd’s documentary explores the impact of Ukraine’s 2004 Orange
revolution
on democratic opposition groups in Belarus. This important event
raised hope for activists in the neighboring country who still battle
President
Lukashenko’s authoritarian rule. The documentary analyses the situation
of the generally demoralized opposition and civil society prior to the 2006
presidential elections and the cat and mouse game between opposition
activists
and the police.
Music Partisans
Poland, 2007 (52 minutes)
Directed by Mirosław Dembinski
English subtitles
Contact: Catherine Pergol/Studio Filmowe Everest <
kasia at studioeverest.neostrada.pl >
After A Lesson of Belarusian, shown at ASN 2007, Polish director
Miroslav Dembinsky returns with Music Partisans to a familiar theme,
President Aleksandr Lukashenko’s iron fisted reign in Belarus, this time
seen from the point of view of a number of Rock Bands. Dembinski
interlaces their protest songs with poignant archive images of, for
example, the militia that hard-handedly stopped protest marches. The
film ends with the elections of 2006 that, as was expected, ended in a
victory for Lukashenko.
