EXILE EXOTIC
Open Frame Award
Steeped in elliptical history and historical simulacra, EXILE EXOTIC is set at a hotel that is a replica of the Kremlin. Narrating the exotic beginnings of the filmmaker’s exile, the film serves as a platform to visit the Kremlin again, albeit by the side of a pool. Soundtracked by an operatic score, a reminiscence of the song of the sirens in Odysseus’ long journey home, the story reverberates throughout the scope of Russian history's limiting of free movement of individuals. This film is a pilgrimage. This film comes in waves.
