Part of the 2026 New East Film Symposium, Playscapes of the State: Childhood in Today's Cinema of Displacement

In Spring 2022 Masha prepares to leave Russia - her homeland that has changed. It turns into chain of unexpected farewells: her mom dies of cancer, her lover flees army conscription, everything including her own old self is falling apart. Her way to cope with the grief is to fixate everything with her camera. Her anger guides her to inner emigration to the local underground scene, which became an escape for young Russians. This kaleidoscope of shards chronicles not only spirit of the time, but the director's personality crumbling against the backdrop of global turmoil. (IMDB)

dir. Masha Chernaya, 2024
