September

After emigrating from Russia in 2022, a young woman lives through an ordinary day in Tbilisi. She works, moves through the city, and waits at a bus station for someone who never arrives. At a flower market, vendors arrange bouquets while a television plays the Soviet war film Farewell to the Boys. This quiet juxtaposition turns the everyday city into a space haunted by memory, grief, and distant conflict. Based on the director’s own experience, September is a poetic documentary about displacement, loss, and the fragile search for belonging.

My Joy

Georgy is driving a load of freight into Russia when, after an unpleasant encounter with the police at a border crossing, he finds himself giving a lift to a strange old man with disturbing stories about his younger days in the Army. After next picking up a young woman who works as a prostitute and is wary of the territory, Georgy finds himself lost, and despite asking some homeless men for help, he’s less sure than he was before of how to make his way back where he belongs. As brutal images of violence and alienation cross the screen, Georgy’s odyssey becomes darker and more desperate until it reaches an unexpected conclusion.
