It is a film about pigs, cows and chicken. Black and white. Without words. Without music. Victor Kossakovsky is offering not just a mesmerizing poetic work of art but also a wonderful life experience. We get to know Gunda the sow, her family and neighbors, and it gives us the reason to think about the secret of consciousness and the value of life of those with whom we share this planet.

Water is the main protagonist, seen in all its great and terrible beauty. Mountains of ice move and break apart as if they had a life of their own. Kossakovsky's film travels the world, from the precarious frozen waters of Russia's Lake Baikal and Miami in the throes of Hurricane Irma, to Venezuela's mighty Angel Falls in order to paint a portrait of this fluid life force in all its glorious forms. Fragile humans experience life and death, joy and despair in the face of its power.

On March 29, 2012, massive anti-government strikes took place in Spain against the government and its far-reaching economic austerity plans. In the very center of Barcelona, ​​protesters were rebuffed by police officers who pacified the crowd with rubber bullets. Everywhere people crowded, fires broke out every now and then, and the doors of offices and shops were closed. The only building whose doors remained open was the Opera House, where Ludwig Minkus' Don Quixote was given that day. On this very day, 32 students of the creative documentary workshop from Pompeu Fabra University took to the streets with cameras, along with their master Victor Kossakovsky, to film a film that captures the day's events. The end result is a "ballet film" consisting of shots of streets and squares taken from various angles. The image is accompanied by music by Minkus, which creates an alienating effect when viewed.

What would be the shortest route between the Mesopotamia in Argentina and China's Shanghai? Since these two places are antipodes in relation to each other, then they would be the most common straight line drawn through the center of the Earth. Viktor Kosakovsky had to circumnavigate the globe three times to make the film Long Live the Antipodes, a look at a world in which people live at opposite ends. Kosakovsky visited four such diametrically opposed points, and everywhere he searched for deep connections between such different worlds. The vertical axes are drawn between Argentina and China, New Zealand and Spain, Siberia and Chile, Hawaii and Botswana. Like a kaleidoscope of bright pictures of our planet, the film was the answer to the main question, so who are they, our antipodes? And are we that different? The author's conceptual point of view reveals deep connections between people and landscapes located as far as possible from each other.
