Hilal Baydarov : 2019
Xurmalar Yetişən Vaxt
Immobile in a home in which the sands of time fall to the rhythm of rural Azerbaijani sounds, a mother waits for her son. When he arrives, their conversations circle around existential questions and news from afar, troubling and cryptic. Unrest cloaks the world outside. Mother and son grow closer, silence melts into words, and life springs up between them. The son leaves, and winter settles upon the forever-outdated house, in which temporalities blur and past and present beat to the rhythm of the same clock. Hilal Baydarov's documentary was winner of the Jury Prize when it premiered at Visions du Réel 2019, and the Heart of Sarajevo for Best Documentary at Sarajevo Film Festival 2019.
