The premiere of the film project "On the Other Side" will take place in September this year
The national film studio "Belarusfilm" has completed the production of the national film "On the Other Side".
The film will tell the viewer about life in Western Belarus, which was joined to Poland by the Treaty of Riga. The events of the film unfold in 1925 on the border of Western Belarus and the BSSR — the main character of the film, Pavel, lives there with his mother. He observes how the Polish authorities strive to assimilate Belarusians, eradicate their language, culture, and faith. Unrest, partisan warfare, the brutal suppression of any attempts to preserve national identity – all this the viewer will see through the story of the main character.
The premiere of the film is scheduled for September 17 – on National Unity Day!
