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.
