Producer: 1190 Productions

Country of Origin: Italy

Country of Filming: Italy

Runtime: 7 minutes 2 seconds

Film Description:

For Forever Bound, we wanted to explore the theme of fate’s adversarial role in a relationship, how destiny, if you believe in such a thing, plays an important role in how our lives turn out. It’s an exciting challenge solving the puzzle of how we are able to communicate such a personal, and yet universally experienced, stage in life. Our aim is that through both action and costume we will be able to artistically portray the inception of a separating thought, consequent tensions, and ultimately the final relief and acceptance of such a painful truth.

Original Film Title: Cut a Dash Brand // Harmony Ecosystem

Director’s Name: Artem Ganzha

Writer’s Name: Artem Ganzha

Producer: Vital Ganzha

Country of Origin: Kyrgyzstan

Country of Filming: Kyrgyzstan

Runtime: 3 minutes 30 seconds

Film Description:

The new project is dedicated to sore questions about our modern life. A story about the system of the interpenetration of the anthropogenic and the primordial, the technogenic and the natural, and the non-living and the living. About achieving harmony with nature, which is possible under certain, difficult-to-achieve conditions. Nature is like a home, which many of us, forced to leave Russia, lost. The film asks what is home and where to find it now.

Formed in collaboration between enterprising Russian exiles and hospitable Kyrgyz people, the project can rightly be considered a collaboration of two cultures colliding in unfamiliar circumstances. Filmed in Kyrgyzstan, the film was simultaneously created in other countries: Russia, Kazakhstan, Thailand, Cambodia, and Lao. The internationality and flexibility of the project instill faith in a world without state borders, ridiculous restrictions, and without war.
