Alisi Telengut

A non-narrative hand-painted visual poem about ideas of diaspora, homeland, and the tragic mass-deportations of the Kalmyk people during WWII. A visual poem and surrealist requiem for the Kalmyk people that were mass-deported by USSR from 1943-1957 and half of them died before they were allowed to return home. The film manifests itself as an archetype with frame by frame hand painted imagery, bringing back an example of human history on the eternal theme of diaspora and the loss of homeland, but more importantly, by referencing to the past and the lost, it poses a critical resistance to the current social political situations in the world.

There was a strange moments in the life, after a strong shock when you feel time slows down. When you you captured the fear of loss and you are alienated from yourself. When you think that something is happening with you and without your knowledge . When you came to some familiar place , but already there is nothing here.
