Farewell My Sea

On the very shore of the sea there once lived an old man and his wife, and the old man had three sons. The eldest son loved the sea, but it punished him for his insolence. The middle son used to talk to the sea, but it stopped answering him. The younger son was swallowed up by the sea, which took him with it. After many long years of wandering, the three brothers reunite on their native island of Sakhalin to restore the connections they lost and finally say farewell to their sea.

The Opposite of Dying

Tang lives alone in a cave in the mountains. He spends his days trekking and meeting friends in the local town. While this self-styled hermit has lived for years with almost no money, now he dreams of becoming a successful entrepreneur. Coming down from the mountain, he meets local businessmen and old friends, pitching them a series of outlandish money-making schemes – from a campsite on the rooftop of a local hotel, to a 300-day-long hermit experience for tourists. With a deep urge to live a meaningful life, Tang is confronted by the prejudices of townsfolk who see him as nothing more than a local oddity.

Fighting Through the Fog

Imagine waking up and suddenly not being able to walk to the bathroom. Or opening your eyes in the morning to find you lost your vision as you slept. It’s your body shutting itself down, fighting itself. Between waking up and eventually falling asleep, you spend almost every waking moment fighting fatigue, battling brain fog, and constant physical uncertainty. This is Multiple Sclerosis. And this is the life of feisty, first-generation, Polish-Canadian Patrycia Rzechowka.

Round Dance. Apologizing Russia

An experimental documentary film that delves into the intricate facets of the issue of human dignity humiliation in Russia. The directors provide audiences with an unconventional perspective on situations where individuals are compelled to issue on-camera apologies for their words or actions. Through this experimental narrative approach, viewers will witness how it has become commonplace in modern Russia to extract apologies on camera. Some instances will evoke genuine sympathy as people grapple with public scrutiny. Simultaneously, other scenes will unveil the darker side of this trend, where apologies devolve into mere puppetry, extracted under the threat of personal and professional repercussions. The film incorporates a range of videos capturing moments of sincere apologies driven by a genuine acknowledgment of one's mistakes.
