_____ in Paris

We lived a secret life, hidden from your husband--a romance of furtive meetings and a future eternally postponed. We stole a week to be together in France; I still could never film us directly, but in the textures and details of the city, I captured the tragic absences of our affair, infinite in the shadows, impossible in the open. Years later, I found these grainy old videotapes--faded like memory, feelings raw but transformed--and composed a love letter to who we once were, what we could’ve been.

Greatness of Absence

What does an actor leave behind? That is the question that Alla Demidova asks herself, the audience, the eternity. She went and lived through the tragedies by Shakespeare, Electra, Phaedra, Medea. Where can one go henceforth? If only become a phantom, an image, something eternal, an enduring reflection of this world in the mirror. This film is a journey away from our reality to an imaginary universe, to reflections, images, phantoms. It starts with an exposition devoted to Alla Demidova at the St. Petersburg Museum of Theatre and Music Art. But it does not only document the space; thanks to Demidova's speech it turns into a retrospective of her work, the parts she played, an explication of her approach to acting.

Colors of White Rock

Ever since its shift toward liberalism after the Cold War, Mongolia has opened up its mines in the Gobi desert for exploitation — resulting in an onslaught of truck convoys transporting Mongolian coal to China. Within this arduous, predominantly-male line of work, Maikhuu — a former taxi driver and hairdresser — stands alone as one of the only female truck drivers working the mining boom. A single mother, Maikhuu resorts to looking after her young children’s financial future and well-being by working extensive seasons along the unforgiving Gobi desert, all while her sister cares for her young children back home. As an outspoken and resilient driver, Maikhuu contends not just with severe droughts impacting the desert landscape, but also deadly accidents among the truck drivers as well as incessant competition from her dominating male peers. Throughout it all, Maikhuu exerts a tenacity in her arduous work and outlook on life.

AI & Animals: A documentary

The film explores the potential impact of artificial intelligence on the situation of animals—a crucial topic that remains largely undiscussed.

It also examines how reducing speciesist attitudes in frontier AI systems can have an impact in the present and the future. Finally, it considers how AI tools could boost our efforts in animal advocacy.

Conversations with My Dead Friends

Claire was my childhood love. I heard Yonatan, a kibbutznik, lecturing on Marx and Tolstoy the day we both enlisted. Jacques was a painter; the sergeant major ordered him to smear the cannons with grease so they would shine in the parade. I met Hanoch after the army; every morning I would wake to the clatter of his typewriter—he was then writing "Solomon Grip." With Shmuel I played chess; I loved the quiet that accompanied the game. Era, the editor, was my cinematic conscience. My friends are no longer here. But I still speak to them through the memories.
