Belarusians began to fight for Listapad gold in the feature film competition. The film Role, created jointly with another 3 countries, has already been appreciated by the press, the audience and the jury. The film tells the story of an actor who dares to live someone else's life as if playing a role.
Konstantin Lopushansky, director of the film Role: The festival is first of all a premiere opportunity. The filming process took much time and involved many participants. Episodes of the Civil War were shot near Brest on the Polish border. It was very difficult for everyone. We did a great job.
