Andrzej Fidyk’s film „Belarusian Waltz” is nominated for the EMMY award in the „out­stan­ding arts & cul­tural program­ming” category.

„Belarusian Waltz” was made as Polish-​Norwegian co-​production, but the film-​making team inc­ludes only Poles(apart from the direc­tor Andrzej Fidyk, Adam Fresko – photography, Stanisław Kolenda – sound, Krzesimir Dęb­ski – music, Ryszard Urbaniak – producer).

Film’s author presents the fate of con­trover­sial artist Alek­san­der Pusz­kin. He tells a lot about today’s Byelorus­sia – a coun­try han­ging between East and West, existing a lit­tle out­side time and civilization. Through his observations, the direc­tor pas­ses on univer­sal truth about people, who are a bit though­tless and thought­ful, sin­cere in a Slavic way, but also hypocritical.

„Belarusian Waltz” has already been nominated for European Film Award and Prix Europa.
