Film of the July:
Summer of '89
Vladimir Kozlov
It’s late July of 1989 in the Belarusian Soviet Socialist Republic. The five teenagers go on a camping trip to unwind after taking final exams at school and gaining admission to college, and to have a great time without any parental control. It's their last summer before adult life begins...

We’re constantly dealing with a problem: the global audience doesn’t know about the Belarusian cinema — we’re not even talking about the detailed knowledge — but barely about the mere fact of its existence. And those who want to familiarize themselves with the Belarusian cinematography simply cannot do so.
There are no foreign or domestic services that allow watching Belarusian films carefully selected by curators.
We have always lacked some kind of Belarusian Netflix that everyone in Belarus and around the world would know about as a platform where you can come and find all of the Belarusian films (or at least a lot of them) in one place, as well as learn about the context of Belarusian cinema and get to know our authors.
VODBLISK is exactly such a platform, designed to shed light on Belarusian cinema and make it accessible, recognized, and popular.
Together, we are popularizing Belarusian cinema
