Sid Iandovka, Anya Tsyrlina, 2019, US, CH, RU, digital, 7'

Siberian-born filmmakers Anya Tsyrlina and Sid Iandovka, friends and collaborators over many years, meld the poetic out of a peculiar combination of various formats (archival film, analog and digital video, CGI), often depicting the late Soviet period in their home region. horizōn detaches a short newsreel out of its specific context. By carefully manipulating the narrative and the image, the viewer is left behind unhinged in an undefinable interzone between nostalgic propaganda and ghostly science-fiction.
