High Speed trains slow down and vanish

High Speed trains slow down and vanish

2020 · 9 min · Documentary

The film is edited, the audio description of the forgotten sound of the film is recorded. Half a year (I thought to myself that it should be) I check potential festivals. Is this a movie about the love of mountains or not? Is it virtual reality about the feeling of freedom or not? Is this a film about cross-border friendship of Central European peoples or not? Is this a movie-musical about finding yourself or not? Is this a film about the problems of the lgbt community in the Carpathian region named after Andy Warhol, or not? Is this a film that promotes silent film values ​​or not? Is this a short experimental debut film of a young director about challenging stereotypes or not? Is it an innovative film that does not fit into the box and will be shown at six festivals and fairs in the most beautiful places of the wine tourism region or not? After an extremely successful development, pre-production, production, post-production and festival history, the film is posted online.

Ajahi is the poorest district of Mariupol. An ideal place for meditations on poverty; a place where you won't see anything that is supposed to be shown; place, to share the void with a friend.

The people they meet offer different perspectives on the problem. Apart from revitalizing abandoned buildings (skate-park Druzhba in Lysychansk), you can also use them for temporarty art interventions (rave parties in the former industrial park in Kostyantynivka) or just leave them as they are (Soviet summer camps on the Azov coast).

Ihor works from home in a taxi answering service. He seems to be imprisoned in his room in a depressing apartment block opposite the pompous Orthodox cathedral. To escape the hopelessness, Ihor tries to interpret his precarious daily life as creatively as possible. Growing sunflowers on his balcony and creating rotoscoping animation on an out-of-date black&white printer become important rituals of resistance.
