THE WIND BLOWS WHEREVER IT WANTS

Competition

The quiet surroundings of the Caucasus look on as shepherds from Tusheti pass through with their flocks. For over 16 months, they trek across the breath-taking landscape of Georgia, blending seamlessly with the colours of nature. In stunning 16mm images, foregoing dialogue and featuring sheep as protagonists, Ivan Boiko's film tells the story of a journey through all four seasons. At the heart of every frame is the rhythm of this traditional way of life. Unique footage, from the depths of winter to blossoming meadows, captures the changing landscape in tranquil shots, as nature runs its organic course and human technology encroaches.
