‘Space Dogs’

Laika, a stray dog, was the first living being to be sent into space and thus to a certain death. A legend says that she returned to Earth as a ghost and still roams the streets of Moscow alongside her free-drifting descendants.

While shooting this film, the directors little by little realised that they knew the street dogs only as part of our human world; they have never looked at humans as a part of the dogs’ world.

‘Pure Art’

The contemporary Belarus, freedom and art. A mysterious artist appears on the streets of Minsk. He is Zahar Cudin, one of the most promising Belarusian painters.

The director Maxim Shved is a lawyer and political scientist, but he has switched to filmmaking and photography. This film has emerged from his photo project about fundamental suprematism, which appears on the city walls when the community service workers paint out graffiti.
