Nikita Lavretski
(Belarus)

Nikita Lavretski was born in 1994 in Minsk, Belarus. He has been described by Cahiers du Cinema as “the most interesting gagman of the invisible Belarusian scene”. His feature film debut “Belarusian Psycho” won the Best Belarusian Film Award at the 2015 Minsk International Film Festival Listapad. In 2018, he completed a master's degree in film studies at Belarusian State Academy of Arts. Since 2020, his dissident movies, blending fiction and nonfiction, screened at ArtDocFest, DAFilms, and Doclisboa, with “A Date in Minsk” winning the International Competition at the latter festival. His writing on cinema and TV has appeared in “Iskusstvo Kino”, “Afisha”, and “Outskirts”.
