What's the News?
Our documentary film "What’s the News?" will examine the process of news coverage and investigative journalism in established news outlets, the rising influence of alternative news media platforms and the motivations behind the creation of news. We will take a close look at the role of media in influencing opinions and social and democratic processes as well as threats that compromise the freedom of independent press and journalism in different parts of the world.
We will follow several established journalists in different countries with different socio-political and economic backgrounds and show how they operate in today’s changing media environment.

And suddenly the revolution has a female face...
Capturing post-2020 Belarus, "And Suddenly the Revolution Has a Female Face" unveils tales of heroines. Svetlana, in Lithuanian exile, plans elections and anti-war action post-Russian invasion. Veronika, in Riga exile, builds evidence for a Hague lawsuit against Lukashenko.
Maria, a former musician and campaign manager, rejects leaving, dances at her trial, fiercely opposing Belarusian war involvement, and gets imprisoned for twelve years. Olga, a feminist philosopher, lectures on dignity in prison, writes in Berlin, focusing on feminist resistance post-Russian invasion.
Nina, a lifelong partisan, defends Minsk, sewing national flags, and protesting against war. Svetlana Alexijevitsch, the Nobel laureate, writes the bitter final chapter of her Red Chronicle. Initially unrelated, these women united in Belarusian resistance, facing imprisonment and exile. Despite losses, their courage grows against Lukashenko's terror, aligning with Ukraine's fight for freedom amid Putin's war.
