The first film project of the V – A – C Foundation film almanac “Dreams in the Area” consists of 13 works by various authors and is compiled as a single kaleidoscope of urban life. The main theme of creative comprehension for the workshop participants was personal dreams and collective urban myths. Intertwined with each other, the plots of individual short films are combined into a single narrative field, combining meanings and images in a bizarre manner.
In contrast, Darya Mareyeva’s Double-sided is shot with a lively, dynamic camera. Its characters are young people crowded in rented apartments of panel housing, where these 21st-century songbirds sing their sad tunes.
