Belarus: An Ordinary Dictatorship

2018 Movie Documentary

It’s the last dictatorship of Europe, caught in a Soviet time-warp, where the secret police is still called the KGB and the president rules by fear. Disappearances, political assassinations, waves of repression and mass arrests are all regular occurances. But while half of Belarus moves closer to Russia, the other half is trying to resist…

Boom and Crash: How Speculation Leads to Chaos poster
FILM

Bread, water, fuel: for a growing proportion of the world's population, particularly in Latin America, Asia and Africa, dizzying price increases are making these basic necessities increasingly unaffordable. With wars and climate change, the impossibility of access to the minimum subsistence level is now one of the main causes of migration on the planet and the aggravating factor of armed conflicts. These sharp increases in the cost of living often originate in new forms of speculation on raw materials, which create worldwide price movements totally disconnected from local markets, a devastating "butterfly effect".

Bialiatski / Unbroken poster
FILM

A journey into the lived reality of international human rights, observed from within long-term relationships and shared time. At its centre stands Ales Bialiatski, Nobel Peace Prize laureate, whose presence emerges through the voices of those who have lived and worked alongside him over decades. The film is carried by two women - his wife Natalia Pinchuk and his closest colleague Sasha Koulaeva. Through memory, routine gestures and years of shared experience, they reveal what it means to remain with someone when history moves in circles rather than forward. Moving across places marked by authoritarian experience, from Belarus to Tunisia and Colombia, the film follows a recurring rhythm of hope, exhaustion and return, linking human rights defenders across borders and generations. A film shaped by endurance, loyalty and the quiet persistence of human dignity over time.

In the Grip of Gazprom poster
FILM

The war in the Ukraine has changed the way many European countries view Russian politics. Suddenly it became clear how dependent countries had become on Russian gas imports for decades and what Vladimir Putin was up to. However, no country needs more gas than Germany. It was only after Russia's invasion of the Ukraine that the German government realized that Russia had long used gas as a weapon to impose its will on states. The instrument created for this purpose is the natural gas production company GAZPROM. So how did Germany become so dependent on Russian gas? The documentary shows how, over several decades and several changes of government, a broad alliance of politicians and business representatives did everything possible to secure Germany's energy supply with cheap Russian gas, while the Kremlin's foreign policy became increasingly aggressive and the warnings of experts went unheeded.

FILM

Historic Russian battles to repel invaders serve as prelude to the story of events that redrew the map of Eastern Europe and parts of Asia in the 20th century. Following the turmoil of the Bolshevik Revolution, Communist Russia faces the venom of Nazi aggression. 1940's film footage reveals the harsh reality of total war, as the Red Army and Soviet civilians alike confront a brutal and tenacious enemy. The following decades are darkened by tensions between the USSR and foreign powers, and violent measures taken to silence voices of dissent. Finally, the Soviet people's yearning for a freer society leads to accelerating reforms and the ultimate dissolution of the USSR.
