overview: The main hero of the film is an electrician with a far greater effect on the people around him than his job defines. He is the last link in a huge energetic system and he becomes the binding bridge between the geopolitical problems of post-soviet space and the common people.

In particular our resilient electrician, who possesses a wonderful and open heart. He not only brings electric light (which is often out) to the lives of the inhabitants of this small city, but he also spreads the light of love, loyalty, life and mainly laughter.

title: Le voleur de lumière

overview: On l’appelle Monsieur Lumière (« Svet-ake »). Dans ce village perdu au milieu des montagnes Kirghizes, loin du pouvoir et de l’économie, il entretient les lignes, trafique parfois les compteurs pour venir en aide aux plus démunis. Coeur ouvert et généreux, il ne leur apporte pas seulement l’électricité : il écoute, conseille, conforte les peines et tempère les disputes conjugales de ces villageois oubliés par la civilisation moderne. Monsieur Lumière a un rêve : construire sur les montagnes des éoliennes pour alimenter toute la vallée en électricité. Mais il va devoir faire face à des hommes puissants et corrompus qui sont les nouveaux maîtres du pays.

title: Der Dieb des Lichts

overview: Svet-Ake lebt in einem kleinen kirgisischen Dorf und ist dort sehr beliebt, denn der Elektriker mit Herz lässt auch schon mal den Stromzähler des einen oder anderen Nachbarn rückwärts laufen, um dessen Geldbeutel etwas zu schonen. Bald werden seine illegalen Machenschaften jedoch publik und er verliert seinen Posten. Ungeachtet dessen will Svet-Ake jetzt aber seine Vision eines Windparks verwirklichen, der dem Dorf endlich die verdiente, absolute Elektro-Unabhängigkeit bringen und das Leben dort wieder lebenswert machen soll.

title: גנב האור

overview: הגיבור הראשי של הסרט הוא חשמלאי עם השפעה גדולה על האנשים סביבו. הוא החוליה האחרונה במערכת אנרגטית עצומה אשר מגשרת בין הבעיות הגיאופוליטיות של המרחב הסובייטי לבין בני העם הפשוטים. לחורבן הכלכלי של המדינה הייתה השפעה עצומה על עובדי התעשייה ועדיין יש למרות המהפך. האנשים האלה לא אוהבים לסבול, החשמלאי הגמיש שלנו, בעל לב נפלא ופתוח. הוא לא רק מביא אור חשמל (שלרוב אינו) לחייהם של תושבי העיירה, אלא גם מפיץ את אור האהבה, נאמנות, חיים ובעיקר צחוק.

title: Svet-Ake

overview: Главният герой във филма е електротехник, който носи много повече радост на хората около него, отколкото предполага работата му.

overview: Life in a Kyrgyz aul (village) in the mountains connected to the rest of the world by a cable bridge, and the teenage boys who are constructing the rope of the bridge. A rope bridge which the locals call “The devil’s bridge” forms part of each and every event which takes place in a small village lost in the mountains of the Kyrgyz Republic. A platform driven by a huge winch which they have to pull with their own strength to cross the torrent is their only link with the outside world. But the director of the documentary wondered something else: “Does this bridge unite or does it actually separate?” Through the mist and over the thrashing waters, the inhabitants of the area glide along their ropes. A film, in the director’s own words, about ordinary people who live in an extraordinary place.

В шестия си поред филм киргизкият режисьор Актан Арим Кубат ни дава достъп до отдалечени места и вдъхновяващата митология на местните хора.

title: Die Flügel der Menschen

overview: Centaur führt mit seiner taubstummen Frau Maripa und ihrem ebenfalls stummen Sohn Nurberdi ein bescheidenes Leben in einem kleinen Dorf in Kirgisistan. Doch was keiner über den liebevollen Familienvater und ehemaligen Kinobesitzer weiß: Er schlägt sich die Nächte um die Ohren, um den reichen Landbesitzern ihre Pferde zu stehlen und diese in freier Wildbahn auszusetzen, auch wenn sie früher oder später wieder eingefangen werden. Denn Centaur kann sich nicht mit dem Gedanken anfreunden, dass Pferde eine Ware sein sollen. Er glaubt felsenfest daran, dass die Kirgisen einst in Einklang mit den Reittieren lebten, und versucht alles, um die alten Zeiten wieder aufleben zu lassen. Doch die Oligarchen sind der nächtlichen Diebstähle überdrüssig und setzen den Kleinkriminellen Sadyr auf den unbekannten Pferdedieb an...

title: Centaur

overview: Mieszkańcy Kirgistanu przez wieki byli bardzo przywiązani do swoich koni. Galop przez stepy dawał im poczucie wolności i nieograniczonej siły. Ale ta epoka się skończyła, a konie zamykane są w prywatnych stajniach i mają ograniczony kontakt z ludźmi. W niewielkiej wiosce ktoś zwraca zwierzętom wolność, lub – zdaniem ich właścicieli – kradnie je. Odkrycie winowajcy zachwieje układem sił w lokalnej społeczności. Da też jej szanse na zastanowienie się, kim są współcześni Kirgizi.  Zanim to jednak nastąpi będziemy przyglądać się codzienności Centaura (w tej roli reżyser filmu Aktan Aryn Kubat), który bardzo dba o rodzinę, a z drugiej strony poszukuje ciepła i zrozumienia u innej kobiety, pracującej na przydrożnym straganie, tkwiącej w pełnym przemocy związku z innym mężczyzną. Poczucie niespełnienia i emocjonalnej izolacji nadają ton temu niezwykłemu filmowi.

title: Grab and Run

overview: After the Kyrgyzstan Independence in 1991, the ancient practice of Ala-Kachuu ("grab and run") returned. Some women escape the men that kidnap them, but many remain married because of tradition and the fear of scandal.

title: Grab and Run

overview: Desde la independencia de Kirguistán en 1991, ha habido un rebrote de la tradición ancestral del Ala-Kachuu, que se podría traducir como “coge y corre” –grab and run-. Más de la mitad de mujeres del país son secuestradas por hombres que siguen la tradición y se convierten en sus maridos. Algunas sufren auténticos calvarios y consiguen escapar, pero la mayoría acaba cediendo por miedo al escándalo público. El origen de esta práctica tiene raíces en las antiguas costumbres nómadas y sorprendentemente sigue vigente en el Kirguistán moderno. Aunque el Ala-Kachuu fue prohibido durante la época soviética y el actual código penal estipula que es ilegal, la ley no suele proteger a las mujeres de este abuso violento.  La directora Roser Corella construye una película impactante sobre una realidad incomprensible, filmada con un coraje admirable que no deja indiferente.

Le bonheur pour sa famille, dont la vie n'est pas simple : son père, Karabas, est tiraillé entre sa première femme Jypara (qui se fait passer pour la mère d'Uluk), et sa seconde, jeune et enceinte de lui. Tout au long de trajets à travers tout le pays dans un camion antédiluvien, les deux femmes se disputent l'amour de l'homme.

overview: Aktan Abdykalikov's simple, clear-eyed poetry finds an elemental form here.

title: Call of God

overview: Anticipation of Love has settled in the heart of a young lady. The boundaries between dream and passion are very elusive.  Life is full of physical deprivations and, of course, sensual pleasures, and the deep meaning of that all is Love.  The deeper the feeling, the more intense the emotions. Each girl dreams about meeting her love one day.  An experienced man helps her discover the world of passion and senses, and brings her to ‘heaven’s gate’ where the two of them will prevail.  One can only imagine how many hearts were broken along the way to master the science of love.  But passion blinds and soon the man becomes slave to the young woman’s sensual body.  The carnal knowledge makes the girl try to subdue her love object.  This is what the last film by Kim Ki-duk, shot in summer 2019 in Kyrgyzstan, is all about.  The film was finished by Kim’s friends and colleagues after he unexpectedly passed away in December 2020.

title: Quem é Deus?

overview: Antecipação do Amor se instalou no coração de uma jovem. As fronteiras entre sonho e paixão são muito elusivas. A vida é cheia de privações físicas e, claro, prazeres sensuais, e o profundo significado disso tudo é Amor. Quanto mais profundo o sentimento, mais intensas as emoções. Cada menina sonha em conhecer seu amor um dia. Um homem experiente a ajuda a descobrir o mundo da paixão e dos sentidos, e a leva ao “portão do céu”, onde os dois prevalecerão. Pode-se imaginar quantos corações foram partidos ao longo do caminho para dominar a ciência do amor. Mas a paixão cega e logo o homem se torna escravo do corpo sensual da jovem. O conhecimento carnal faz com que a garota tente subjugar seu objeto de amor.  É disso que trata o último filme de Kim Ki-duk, filmado no verão de 2019 no Quirguistão.  O filme foi finalizado pelos amigos e colegas de Kim depois que ele faleceu inesperadamente em dezembro de 2020.

Zarlyk’s wife Umsunai, having lost hope of his return, went into religion, married the local authority Jaichy. The bright past invades the already accustomed Umsunai’s life. But nothing touches Zarlyk. An inexplicable passion for collecting garbage replaced him everything. Will the memory return to him and will Umsunai gain lost happiness when they are pressed by tight attitudes and immorality of the clergy, when love has eclipsed recklessness?

Zelfs zijn vrouw Umsunai is veranderd: nadat ze de hoop op zijn terugkeer verloren had, hertrouwde ze met de plaatselijke bekendheid Jaichy. Herinneringen aan het mooie verleden doen haar geloof nu wankelen. Maar niets lijkt Zarlyk te raken.
