Michał Bielawski’s The Wind. A Documentary Thriller (Wiatr. Thriller dokumentalny, 2019)

Can the wind account for the "thrilling" drama summoned by Michał Bielawski’s documentary?

Svetla Tsotsorkova hunts for clichees and prejudices about life on the periphery.

Vinko Brešan's mercurial comedy calls for the abolition of the Croatian state.

Dmitry Mamuliya's film gets tangled up in its subjectivist premise.

A remote village, recurrent routines and a straightforward filmmaking approach harmonize in Dvortsevoy’s early documentary.

This all-too perfect documentary dwells on the fate of tradition in the modern world.

Alex Brendea reverses the dynamics of the classic one-man versus the broken system narrative.

This creative documentary tests genre conventions only to lose its way.

In their second feature, Natasha Merkulova and Aleksey Chupov approach issues surrounding gender politics and sexual norms through a local folk-tale.

Is our culture of awareness conducive to our forgetting where the problems lie?
