‘Sasha's Hell - Nikita Lavretski’

When rising rapper Oli finally meets his online collaborator Sasha, their weekend of hanging out turns from sweet, to painfully awkward, to terrifying. An underground live gig, a strange encounter with a goth girl, and finally a literal descent into hell are all captured on grainy VHS tape.

Nikita Lavretski was born in 1994 in Minsk. In 2015, his debut feature film Belarusian Psycho became the best film of the National Competition of the Minsk International Film Festival Listapad. Since 2018, he has been studying film science at the graduate school of the Belarusian State Academy of Arts.
