Press release
“I Will Be Lighted By the Sun” was entered into international film catalogs. The official showing of the film was a sold-out.
After the successful overseas premiere, director Sergey Rybakov was approached by several US companies about broadcasting rights. He was invited to Tribeca Film Festival by Robert de Niro, actor, director and producer in April 2007.
Sergey Rybakov says that his film is a result of the collaborative effort of ATN and Trinity Band. The film takes you on a journey into the Polesie Area together with renowned Belarusian folk artist, Trinity leader Ivan Kirchuk. The destination is one of the remotest spots of Belarus - the village of Vidibor, Stolin District. The protagonist Ivan Kirchuk is looking for original folk song legacy and collecting forgotten ancient legends, customs and rituals.
The folklore material gathered in the course of the expedition inspired the Trinity for a new album.
“I Will Be Lighted by the Sun” is highly popular with Belarusian viewing audiences. The film was shown more than 25 times on local channels.
