Orangene Westen

Belarus Deutschland 1992/1993 Dokumentarfilm

Summary

Orange Vests

During the collapse of the Soviet Union, Belarusian director Yuri Khashevatsky assembled a group of female film students, among them Ella Milova and Irina Pismennaya, and encouraged them to make a collective documentary about the state of their country. Inspired by feminist artist collectives, the resulting film is as unique as it is harsh – a kaleidoscope of life in the USSR, where women were at the forefront of fighting injustice and environmental problems. Written as a cinematic letter to Helke Sander, the film offers a rare feminist perspective on the Soviet Union.
