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, Filmadrid 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”.
