Nathan Farb and the Cold War

The landmark exhibition ""Photography in the USA,"" which brought Nathan Farb to Siberia for the first time in 1977, served as a powerful harbinger of the waning Cold War era; it not only marked Nathan's first photobook success, but also secured his rightful place in the photography collections of MOMA and the Getty.

Following Nathan as he embarks on another expedition to rediscover and capture the essence of the protagonists of '77 just before Russia invades Ukraine, the film captures a poignant snapshot of a Russian society on the brink of war. At the same time, the photographer's own personality materializes in the film - a compelling portrait shaped by his encounters amidst the bustling milieu of New York or the freezing backdrop of Novosibirsk, and against the nature's grandeur of the Adirondack Mountains.
