Juri Rechinsky

The story of those who are going through suffering, struggle, loss and despair, trying to find their way out of the depths.

“I have been working hard this summer. Begged for alms, collected metal, stole. I don't have a father. The mother was asleep. I left home and started living on the street. In the basement. I have friends. We live together, steal, sniff glue, drink vodka. Then they got hooked on the needle. Now we all walk badly and hardly talk. We are sick bitch people. And you?" Film-immersion. For several months, the filmmakers lived with a pack of homeless human children and observed different aspects of their lives.

While the armed conflicts on the Ukrainian front have become a traumatizing everyday reality, out of necessity new structures of care have developed among Ukrainian society. As a contemporary document, this film looks at unseen moments of care work - continuous attempts to restore respect and security to people who have been violently deprived of them.

What unites us all, regardless of the circumstances or part of the world we live in? Is simply being human the lowest common denominator? In their experimental documentary, Juri Rechinsky and Mario Hainzl explore this question by equipping women and men of different ages with body cams—in Austria, Senegal, the U.S., Japan, and on the Ukrainian front. An intimate, point-of-view journey through many lives and realities, revealing how close we actually are.

A documentary triptych about a group of homeless kids, who have survived their drug-addicted childhood, grew up and started to live an adult life. It’s a story about a boy facing the surreal, degenerated society of his native village full of hate and sadistic anger while searching for his mother. It’s a story about a pregnant girl who wants to give birth to her child whose childhood will probably be even worse than hers. But her own sisters are forcing her to have an abortion.

Pierre Crom reports. In 2014, the photojournalist traveled to Ukraine to document the imminent conflict on the eastern border. Juri Rechinsky shows Crom in an extensive interview, which together with his haunting photos and an unnerving score quickly develops an extremely grim pull.
