Film Description:
Oleksandr Glyadyelov is a Ukrainian master of black-and-white documentary photography. From the early 1980s until the present, he has created a unique chronicle of our time. After photographing wars in Transnistria, Chechnya and Azerbaijan, and documenting the Russian-Ukrainian war since 2014, Oleksandr became convinced that a full-scale Russian attack on Ukraine was inevitable.
The narrators of the film are Glyadyelov’s photographs and the people depicted in them. ‘Glyadyelov. Focus on Infinity’ is a film about observing from the sidelines; about voyeurism. Travelling with the photographer from Kyiv and Bucha to Kharkiv, Odesa and Ilovaisk from the 1990s to 2022, witnessing a kaleidoscope of images from homeless street children to the terrifying wars unleashed by Russia, the viewer enters into a conversation with the protagonists of the film. Alongside Oleksandr Glyadyelov, the audience traces a path from the inevitability of current events to confidence in the triumph of good.
