Cognition Trilogy: Separation
2024
82 minutes
Overview
During the first wave of Covid-19, four young Ukrainian filmmakers retreat to the countryside to work on their artistic projects. Where they were looking for peace and escape from pandemic restrictions, they end up finding much more. The film diary, in which the director's voice speaks to the overman within, becomes not only a record of creative development and search, but also a description of the painful journey to the knowledge of one's inner self. The separation does not only refer to the spatial and relational distance between individuals, but can also be understood in the coordinates of the separation of individual layers of the personality in the process of self-observation.
