also won many awards for his movies “Nadja’s Village” and “Alexei and the Spring”.
6/30 Sat
Nadja’s Village
Language: Russian, with Japanese subtitles
''Nadja's Village'' is about a girl and her family in a Belarus village near Chernobyl devastated by radioactive pollution, where only 6 families remain. Through the lives of these strong and spirited people, deeply rooted in a natural world that is as beautiful as it is harsh, we learn what true wealth is.
7/22 Sun
Alexei and the Spring
Language: Russian, with Japanese subtitles
In the village of Budische, Belarus, everything from the school ruins, fields, and woods to wild mushrooms is tested for radiation levels – but not the local spring. “Why? Because this water is 100 years old,” the villagers say proudly. During these past 100 years, what kind of wealth have we been seeking? This gushing spring, proof that Earth is the water planet, is a tranquil reminder of the true nature of wealth.
