"This is a unique and beautiful film that combines documentary with fantasy to explore a very relevant and important topic.

It is not only a voice of injustice, but also a space for imagination," Reform.by quotes the jury's assessment represented by

Natalia Libet

(Ukraine),

Sakaris Storey

(Faroe Islands) and

Pamela Tola

(Finland).

The film "Mara" is dedicated to the events of 2020 in Belarus.

The director combines documentary footage from peaceful protests with staged scenes that add an additional dimension to the events.

Mara is a mythological character, which the author brings into action, is a guide, a medium that allows you to see the faces of not only those who fight for freedom, but also people from the opposite side - people of violence.
