白俄罗斯导演安德烈·库特拉（Andrei Kutsila）反对亚历山大·卢卡申科（Alexander Lukashenko）的暴力政权
Belarusian Director Andrei Kutsila on the Opposition to Alexander Lukashenko’s Violent Regime
白俄罗斯导演兼记者安德烈·库特拉拉（Andrei Kutsila）本周在捷克共和国，他的电影《当鲜花不沉默》（Flowers not Silent）打开了第25届Jihlava Intl。纪录片电影节。这是在华沙电影节的全球首映之后，在那里签订了最佳纪录片奖。放映结束后，库特拉（Kutsila）将继续在波兰的伊兹电影学院（üde）进行一年的实习，他告诉综艺。“这不仅仅是安全 - 您根本无法（现在是白俄罗斯的纪录片制片人）工作。我决定在仍在编辑这部电影时离开。白俄罗斯的专制总统亚历山大·卢卡申科（Alexander Lukashenko）自1994年以来就一直掌权。“我不知道接下来会发生什么；制定任何计划是没有意义的。街道很平静，但当局必须维持一定的LEV恐惧。他们回到一年前被捕的人 - 进入家园，打破了他们的门。当然，您可以坐下来等待这种情况。但是，你为什么要呢？ “在抗议的头几天，我什至没有随身携带相机。我作为公民去了那里。”他说。 “我发现自己在俄克拉斯省监狱的面前，看到了所有这些人，寻找他们的亲戚和亲人。一旦我开始拍摄，我将专注于女性面孔。库特西拉最终制作了一部关于这个地方的短片“墙壁”，被称为白俄罗斯反对派激进主义者的拘留中心，决定跟随它，以一部长篇纪录片来跟随它一旦事情变得个性化。 “有一天，我没有力量去另一场抗议。我们是坐姿G在家里，我的朋友在网上看到了这段视频，有关汽车互相撞向彼此并开枪的视频。一个小时后，我发现那是我姐姐的车。”他说。 “当她入狱时，她的丈夫也被送到那里。她会和其他女人一起坐在牢房里，听殴打的人的尖叫声。当她被释放时，我们只是哭了。我发现她无法应付创伤。那是我决定寻找其他角色的时候，因为我不想观察抗议活动。我想专注于已经经历过监狱或不得不应对后果的人。 Tsikhanouskaya和Veronika Tsepkalo - 库特拉（Kutsila）迅速注意到他们“混淆”政权的能力。“当局不知道该怎么办。射击他们？拘留他们？他们只是无法决定。是的NKS向女性开始，这些大规模抗议活动甚至开始了。通常，当您经历这样的事情时，开放需要更长的时间。但是我们知道制作电影和报道很重要。那是我们的盔甲，因为我们没有其他武器。”尽管媒体对这些事件的报道广泛，但库特拉在他的乡村人的斗争中遇到了一些冷漠，包括在波兰。 “我的朋友想邀请某人参加华沙的首映礼，那个人说：‘我不喜欢这种电影院。’我明白，因为听到它也可能是痛苦的。在世界各地，人们都摆脱了阿富汗叙利亚的情况。白俄罗斯更加接近，所以也许会更害怕您吗？”他想知道。指出，尽管许多人继续生活在恐惧中，但在这场冲突中还没有赢家。他想翻开一个新页面，但这是不可能的。口罩掉了。我没有正确地说情况会更好，因为许多受害者不会从坟墓中崛起。但是每个人终于知道卢卡申科的真实身份。对我们来说，这是向前迈出的一步。”Belsat电视台的Beata Krasicka制作了“鲜花不寂静”，并通过“团结区基金会”处理销售，而波兰电影制片人JacekBławut则担任其艺术主管。
Belarusian director and journalist Andrei Kutsila is in the Czech Republic this week where his film “When Flowers Are Not Silent” opens the 25th Jihlava Intl. Documentary Film Festival. This follows its world premiere at Warsaw Film Festival, where it nabbed the award for best documentary feature. After the screening, Kutsila will continue his one-year internship at Łódź Film School in Poland, he tells Variety.
“It’s not just about security - you simply cannot work [as a documentary filmmaker in Belarus] right now. I decided to leave when I was still editing the film,” he says, referring to the situation of the country still reeling from the government's violent response to the protests after the rigged 2020 presidential elections. Belarus' authoritarian president, Alexander Lukashenko, has been in power since 1994.
“I don’t know what will happen next; there is no point in making any plans. The streets are calmer, but the authorities have to maintain a certain level of fear. They are going back to the people they arrested a year ago – coming into their homes, breaking down their doors. Of course, you can sit and wait for that to happen. But why would you?”
His black-and-white film focuses on women, including a mother of three, trying to keep her family together, and his own sister, incarcerated during the protests.
“During the first days of the protests, I didn’t even bring a camera with me. I went there as a citizen," he says. "I found myself in front of the Okrestina prison and saw all these people, looking for their relatives and loved ones. Once I started filming, I would focus on women’s faces. You could read so much in them, all these emotions.”
Kutsila ended up making a short film “Walls” about the place, known as a detention center for the activists of the Belarusian opposition, deciding to follow it with a feature-length documentary once things got personal.
“One day I didn’t have the strength to go to another protest. We were sitting at home and my friend saw this video online, of cars crashing into each other and shots being fired. An hour later I found out it was my sister’s car,” he says.
“When she was in prison, her husband was sent there as well. She would sit in a cell with other women, listening to the screams of beaten people. When she was released, we just cried. I found out she couldn’t cope with the trauma. That’s when I decided to look for other characters, because I didn’t want to observe the protests. I wanted to focus on people who had already experienced prison or had to deal with the aftermath.”
Admitting that women have been at the forefront of the protests since the very beginning, carrying flowers or forming human chains – including opposition leaders Maria Kolesnikova, Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya and Veronika Tsepkalo – Kutsila quickly noticed their capacity to “confuse” the regime.
“The authorities didn’t know what to do with them. Shoot them? Detain them? They just couldn’t decide. It was thanks to women that these mass protests even started. Usually, when you experience something like this, it takes longer to open up. But we knew it was important to make films and reportage. That’s our armor, because we don’t have other weapons.”
Despite wide media coverage of the events, Kutsila has encountered some indifference when it comes to his countryfolk’s struggles, including in Poland.
“My friend wanted to invite someone to the premiere in Warsaw and that person said: ‘I am not a fan of this kind of cinema.’ I understand, because hearing about it can be traumatic as well. All over the world, people are turning away from what's happening in Syria, in Afghanistan. Belarus is much closer, so maybe it scares you even more?,” he wonders. Noting that while many continue to live in fear, there are no winners in this conflict just yet.
“Lukashenko’s regime has nothing left to offer. He would like to turn a new page, but it’s impossible. The masks have fallen. I have no right to say that things are better, because many victims won’t rise from their graves. But everyone finally knows who Lukashenko really is. For us, it’s a step forward.”
“When Flowers Are Not Silent” was produced by Belsat TV’s Beata Krasicka with The Solidarity Zone Foundation handling sales, and Polish filmmaker Jacek Bławut serving as its artistic supervisor.
