Official Selection, 2024 Berlin International Film Festival
Preceded by Alex Boya's short film, Bread Will Walk (Directors’ Fortnight)
A devoted sister races to save her brother, a bread-turned zombie. A mob of hungry living pursues, mouths agape. Streets twist into mazes, reason crumbles. Can love defy appetite?
An extraordinary journey through the material that makes up our habitat: concrete, and its ancestor, stone. Filmmaker Victor Kossakovsky raises a fundamental question: how do we inhabit the world of tomorrow?
Viktor Kossakovsky
Viktor Kossakovsky is a Russian documentary filmmaker. He began his film career in 1978, working as an assistant cameraman, assistant director, and editor at the Leningrad Studio of Documentaries. Kossakovsky's first released feature was his 1992 documentary The Belovs. Subsequent works include Hush! (2002) and Russia from My Window (2003), both made from footage that he filmed out his bedroom window or on his street in St. Petersburg, and his well-received meditation on the natural wonder of water, Aquarela (2018). In 2011, his documentary ¡Vivan las Antipodas! was selected as the opening film of the Venice International Film Festival. His latest film, Architecton, had its world premiere in the main competition of the 2024 Berlin International Film Festival.
