Våren 2010 ble det tildelt støtte ved løpende søknader til kurs, seminarer o.l. Dette kommer dessverre ikke til å fortsette i høst, men det kan selvsagt legges inn søknader til neste runde 1. desember.
In Belarus, the totalitarian regime cracks down on all opposition. Anyone criticising the dictator risks imprisonment and torture. This film tells the incredible personal story of the performance artist Alexander Pushkin, who is one of very few who is not scared. Facing grave consequences he organizes public stunts that mock president Lukashenka. Through his art and sense of humour we take a deep dive into the soul of the Belarusian people.
