LIVING (ZHIT), 2012
Russia | DCP, Color, 119’ | Russian
Director: Vasiliy Sigarev
Cast: Olga Lapshina, Marina Gavrilova, Sasha Gavrilova

Using a language that is as stark as rural Russia, Living delineates the stories of three different people who have lost family members. Director Sigarev utilizes long takes and a static camera, which supplements his realistic approach. The film sheds a stark light to the dark side of the Russian society through the measures taken by these characters who seek refuge away from their struggles against the devastating consequences of death.
