(Malupien, Olšový Spas), Martin Ryšavý / ČR, 2008
Armenian / Czech subtitles, 93 min
A documentary about the Russian city of Yakutsk in the Far East, seemingly just countless blocks of prefab flats in the middle of taiga - at first sight a gloomy place to live at, yet filled with a human desire to create, which is embodied by Malupien, a castle made of scrapheap at a place called Olšový Spas, built by one of the heroes of the film, expressing his faith in a fairy-tale essence of human existence, pointing out that the way back to childhood is possible by an active creation of its reflection.
The partner of the screening is International Documentary Film Festival Jihlava.
