Braguino

First, a dream. Then the helicopter lands into Braguino, a small village in the heart of the Siberian taiga. A community of "Old Believers", an ancient cult, chose to settle there in the 17th century to live according to their own laws. An Eden? Not quite. The river that flows through the village acts as a border between two territories. The Braguine, who live on one side, and the Kiline on the other, are perpetually ghting. The director films from the Braguine side, only showing the Kiline from a distance. Clément Cogitore delivers a dense and emotional narrative reminiscent of John Ford, revealing the Wild East's harsh reality. (FIDMarseille)
