ArtPower Belarus supported the Belarusian programme of the Northern Lights Film Festival. Having showcased independent and auteur cinema for more than 11 years, the festival had to rethink its operations and continue its work in exile after 2020. Its Belarusian programme became a key priority, responding to the shortage of platforms for independent Belarusian film.
With ArtPower Belarus support, the festival was able not only to deliver another edition of its Belarusian programme in autumn 2025 but also to significantly strengthen its infrastructure. The team organised an open call and film selection process, upgraded the online platform with safety and accessibility in mind, and held in-person screenings in Vilnius, Warsaw and Tallinn.
