Program
East Doc Award for Best Documentary: Pure Art (Maksim Shved, Poland, 52′, 2019, DOC., LEG. PT)
Communal painters Zina and Inna carefully paint the graffiti and slogans on the walls of Minsk, leaving colorful rectangles as a result. The artist Zakhar Kudin is inspired by bright figures and decides to copy them to the huge canvases. Passers-by intrigued by Zakhar’s performance are trying to interpret his work and express their opinion, but not only about art. Watching the birth of an artistic phenomenon, the film with irony and love shows contemporary Belarus and raises issues that are relevant not only in this country.
