The Things
Documentary film THE THINGS is built around items - simple and mundane objects, that sometimes gain exceptional, magical meaning and identity. Filmed in 2018, after 1o years from the Russian-Georgian war of 2008, THE THINGS tell the stories of the last things that dwellers of the now occupied zone took with them when fleeing their homes for undefined time. Filmed in IDP camp, the movie captures the present relationship between the Things and their owners, observes its role in each other's life and invites the spectator into the space between loss and hope.
