Vladimir Bitokov : 2018
Glubokie reki
Day after day in a forgotten corner of the Caucasus Mountains, a family of lumberjacks trudges through the impassable landscape to chop down and bring home wood in order to fulfil their contract with the local sawmill. When the father is seriously injured by a falling tree, his place must be taken by the youngest of the brothers, who left the impoverished region years before. His arrival opens old wounds and fuels conflicts within the family and in the hostile village. Stifled emotions and an oppressive image of a fragmenting society highlight themes of ineffectual communication and xenophobia. Vladimir Bitokov's feature debut was winner of Best Debut at Kinotavr Open Russian Film Festival 2018, and had its international premiere in competition in the East of the West section at Karlovy Vary International Film Festival 2018.
