Baltic premiere
It’s daytime. At the “Ambasciatori”, one of the last standing porn-theater in Rome, in the darkness of the screening room, sunbeams filter through the corridors and the toilets. On the screen, porn scenes are being shown, while only few spectators are interested in watching them, but a real community, claiming their right to exist.
Baltic premiere
A documentary-dance film which explores the legacy of Soviet architecture in Kharkiv, Ukraine. The film was shot in September 2021, at a time when the prospect of a full-scale invasion from Russia seemed remote, but the ghost of its former rule remained written in concrete across the cityscape. The film platforms a divisive and open conversation about the city’s Soviet buildings: What should be done with them? Should they be preserved, destroyed, repurposed? What power do they hold over the way people think and interact with their environment?

As a reverse sci-fi journey, this essay mixes reality and fiction to guide us, like a stalker, to the outskirts of an invisible place.
