Almost two years have passed since the State Duma of the Russian Federation adopted a law known as the “Dima Yakovlev Law”. Initially, Russian orphans were forbidden to be adopted by US citizens. Later, virtually all foreign adoptions were suspended. America was the number one country in terms of the number of adoptions from Russia. At the same time, it was often the Americans who adopted children with disabilities. In connection with the ban, even according to the most conservative estimates, in 10 years the number of children who have lost the chance to have a family will reach 30,000. “Children should grow up in their homeland…” But all that remains of their homeland is the view from the window and official underwear with a stamp.

In 1959, at the height of the Cold War, Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev embarked on a two-week public relations tour across the US. Americans emerged from fancy new bomb shelters for a glimpse of a Communist dictator visiting their landmarks and experiencing local hospitality. Greeted by angry mobs and celebrity gawkers, Khrushchev turned on his charm and quick wit. By the time he hit the West Coast, the US was enthralled by his presence, chasing him along the whistle-stops of his tour.

The concept of this journalistic film goes back to the Moscow Metropolitan Zosima, who in 1492 put forward the thesis “Moscow is the Third Rome”. The author and presenter puts forward his own version of the collapse of the Byzantine Empire, which paradoxically resembles the stages of the collapse of the Russian Empire and the USSR.

This film is based on the real story of a strong man who, against all odds, was able to step beyond the horizon of his own abilities. Alexander Zhuravlev, a resident of Yekaterinburg, went blind at the age of 11, now he has only 2% residual vision. And yet, a few years ago, he began to travel independently, mastered skiing and, finally, began to photograph. An exhibition of his works was even held in Moscow. His photographs are a reason to ask yourself the question, "Why is a blind guy showing me the world? Why didn't I see all this myself?" This is an opportunity to see your possibilities.

The Body of the War is a documentary dance which appears in the gap between Victoria's experience of the outside environment in peaceful Sweden and the inner world full of the war in Ukraine. Her body has become the body of the war. She is searching within herself to find where the war resides. Is it stocked in the cracks, wounds of the body, hair, skin pores, feet, bends and lengths of the body? The film is divided in three chapters and locations that are linked to specific places in Ukraine. The rock on a beach brings Victoria back to houses in ruins, a wheat field on a beautiful day reminds her of the burning fields in south of Ukraine and the safe landscape and statue of the Barsebäcks power plant is a stark contrast to the reality of the Zaporizhzhia NPP which is under constant military attack by the Russian army.
