Junker poster
NR

My neighbor is an ordinary person. But after all, if you observe a person long enough, he ceases to be simple, ordinary. I filmed this film from the window of my apartment for several years. Filmed a neighbor and his beloved old car, to which he is endlessly attached. And in the end, unexpectedly, a movie turned out not about a specific person, but about life in general.

Shadows of Your Childhood poster
NR

Our house immerses into the silence of the night, is covered with long shadows, plays with occasional flashes of the warm flame of a kerosene lamp. Darkness for little Stesha turns out to be a tool for the discovery of another world, sometimes scary, sometimes fascinating. Fragments of vague memories, voices, flashes of light – the precious feelings of early childhood that remain with us forever.
