@andreykashper's 'Processes' provides an incisive look into Belarus's political climate through a satirical narrative that captures the essence of the country's recent turbulent history. The film portrays the systemic oppression and the quiet, often unseen struggle of its citizens against an iron-fisted rule. By intertwining the absurd with the tragic, Kashperski invites viewers to reflect on the reality that often surpasses fiction in its strangeness and severity.

Don’t miss our last screening tonight at CPH:DOX ➤ 19:00 / Kunsthal Charlottenborg, and in the meantime we reccomend you a wonderful review by @moderntimes.review — thank you Massimo Iannetti m_iannetti2 for these sensitive yet very precise observations on In the Rearview 🕊️. ❞ In the Rearview is a remarkably delicate documentary in its shaping of temporary, car-bound still microcosms. Hamela’s tenacity as a driver and director has turned a van into a portal between past and future, between loss and hope. ❞ An intimate portrait of a life entirely torn apart by war is a heart-wrenching road trip where stories, pain and hopes are shared in the backseat of a van. ❞ A raw, minimalist journey. A reflective account of the immediate aftermath of the tragedy.
