 * Keep. Here's a review in Gazeta Wyborcza, which goes some way towards establishing notability, and here's a list of prizes, which would appear to cement notability. I can't find any evidence of an official English title, so would suggest either moving the article to the film's Polish title Lekcja białoruskiego or the more idiomatic A Belorussian Lesson - whichever conforms to the manual of style, which I don't have time to look up at the moment.

 * Comment. I take back the suggestion to move this. Googling for A Lesson of Belorussian and, what I would consider much better translations of the title, A Belorussian Lesson] or A Lesson in Belorussian shows that the sub-optimal translation has become established as the English title of this film.

 * Strong Keep with kudos to Phil Bridger for his diligent WP:AFTER. While a Polish documemtary will likely not get much coverage in American press, WP:CSB allows consideration of coverage and notability created in its own part of the world. I am convinced by that coverage, and by its awards, that criteria for notability have been met. MichaelQSchmidt (talk) 21:23, 9 October 2009 (UTC)
