8 Views of Lake Biwa

Original title: Biwa järve 8 nägu

2024 | Feature film, Full length feature | Director: Marko Raat

Eight lake views of the Japanese art tradition translated into the language of the longings and desires of Old Believers at Lake Peipus.

On the shimmering shores of Europe’s otherworldly edge, two teenage girls, Hanake and her best friend are discussing their first love interest while gazing out at yachts sailing to Kyoto. They whisper prayers and poems, the language of their longings. But the magic is fading in their isolated fishing village as they’re dealing with a recent disaster, with some indulging in erotic art, some in spiritual spells. It becomes clear that intimacy alone won’t help them process their loss. A deeply visceral tale illuminating the lives of a community who still believe that they are connected to the universe.

Yoyogi haiku

2022 | Documentary | Director: Max Golomidov

Yoyogi is a place of freedom and going beyond everything human. Like the first flight to the sky.

The film is set in the Yoyogi park in Japan, which was once an airplane ground from where the first Japanese pilot took off. It combines two strange and seemingly overlapping peculiarities. On the one hand, there is a distant, almost scientific in its dryness, observation of ordinary scenes of people's life in the park, on the other hand, a feeling of some kind of magic and the impossibility of what is happening. The gaze in this film is more significant and more important than the object of observation. We don't really know anything about this park. This film gives the ...
