(Yaptik - Hasse), Edgar Bartenev / RUS, 2006
Russian version / Czech sub-subtitules, 29 min
A group of nomadic Nenets lives in the Siberian tundra at "The End of the World", as the territory is known in the local dialect. They travel around the region with their herd of reindeer. These people have completely adapted their lifestyle to their surroundings without knowing the rules of the world that is far away from them. For a clearer understanding of many curious details, an impressive collage of pictures is accompanied by subtitles, which comment on fragments of everyday images with humour and a detached point of view. This refreshing "commentary" introduces the old shaman Iri Tadib, who may be ninety according to our concept of time, but who is only thirty five according to his own timekeeping. The film not only uncovers different living habits but also reveals another concept of time and space. Edgar Bartenev's film poetically contemplates the rhythm of a life governed by the pulse of nature and it is also a comparative statement on a different culture. The visual material is illustrated in a very original way with a musical score. This film contains an intimate portrait of a forgotten people and their thought-provoking testimony, but it also offers a comprehensive statement on cultural diversity.
