Where does Russia end
Tam, de zakinchuyetʹsya Rosiya
Dir. Oleksiy Radynski \ Ukraine \ 2024 \ lit., engl. subt. \ 25 min.

1980 an expedition is sent from Ukraine to create a report about the distant corners of Siberia. in 2022 after Russia started hostilities in Ukraine in February, the forgotten material was discovered in a Kyiv science popularization film studio. It is a relevant reminder of Russia's huge possessive power, which, like a hurricane, carries with it everything that is beautiful and alive. The imperialist expansion of the country, which is tried to be covered by "voluntary accession", has been successful in all times, and the methods do not change. As well as the destruction of nature and the oppression and exploitation of local communities (Evenks, Buryats, Yakuts and others).

1973 the Serbian company that won the tender is undertaking the construction of an international trade fair complex in Lagos, Nigeria. Opened in 1977 the complex did not survive the recession in the country and officially closed its doors after ten years of existence. Grand and ambitious ambitions become a part of everyday life. The wild nature is trying to reclaim its territory from the abandoned building. The space is also taken over by the locals, who have established a carpentry workshop and bicycle rule here. And for children it is a huge playground.

Director. Ssi Saarinen, Ona Julija Lukas Steponaitytė, Iida Jonsson \ Lithuania, Denmark, Sweden \ 2023 \ without dialogues \ 35 min.

In 2012, a field suddenly flooded in Nikančiai. Resembling a lake at first glance, this body of water is the result of a blocked reclamation ditch. Land reclamation in Lithuania was carried out rapidly during the Soviet era in order to adapt the conditions for agriculture. Most of the ditches were left unmaintained, the flow of water disrupted, and decades after independence, they are still changing the landscape. In Ona Julija Lukas Steponaitytė, Iida Jonsson and Ssi Saarinen's film "Sludge", the deposit is explored from perspectives more suitable for depicting emergency situations: a head camera, exploratory dives and a flight from a helicopter. The soundtrack created by Aleksandrs Iezzi acts as another landscape that does not stop at a specific rhythm or harmony.
