OFFICIAL SELECTIONS
A Wee Night In
Chrissy was a sickly child, so no one expected her to live to a ripe old age. Nevertheless, this Scottish woman is now 95, frail but full of life. From her house in a village near Glasgow, she engages in activities that keep her active and involved with life. Today, Chrissy’s 91-year-old boyfriend Bill is coming over for a nice evening that will pass by according to the slow rhythm of age. They rub shoulders in her cozy little kitchen, enjoy a big meal, watch TV and chat like it’s going out of fashion. These two chatterboxes are – in Chrissy’s own words – “well matched.” Music from their youth is usually playing in the background. This relatively new couple have fun bickering together; old age and the approaching end magnify life’s little pleasures, lending them almost a miraculous sheen. Chrissy talks in voice-over about how they met and proudly says that she has never been one to rush into romantic entanglements. Bill spent two years calling her, asking if she would like to go out with him. She always liked to take her time, and still does. This is an intimate, heartwarming portrait of love in old age, full of recognisable, comedic moments |

The poste restante diary
We want to tell you the story of a person who remains face to face with the system. The story we want to tell you in our documentary happened half a century ago when a Latvian was arrested as an enemy of the state and sent to a labour camp in a place near Vyatka. He didn't smoke but he was registered as a smoker and got the tobacco norm and a cigarette paper. Tobacco was exchanged for food, which helped him survive, and the paper was used to keep a journal. Despite all the raids the dairy remained untouched, and thanks to it it is possible to have glimpse of what life was like in Vyatlag. The time has come and the journal is published in Russian. There were a lot of stories like this one and they are continuing to happen. Kirov region( Vyatlag), Latvia (the motherland of Arthur Stradinish ) |
