ГИМН ЧУМЕ

13 Min | Alexander Epikhov, Dimitri Gorbaty, Philipp Ivanov, Ataka51 | Russia, Germany

In an old Soviet recording studio, a group of musicians attempt to record a composition based on Pushkin’s play “A Feast in Time of Plague”. A weird and frightening phenomena disturbs the musicians — whether it is the spirits of the past or an echo of a war. Nobody notices what is happening around them until the very end.

Ataka51
Originally from Moscow, now based in Paris, Ataka51 is a film collective consisting of Dimitri Gorbaty, Philipp Ivanov, Alex Epikhov, and Sergei Medvedev. They first met at the Gerasimov Institute of Cinematography (VGIK), while Gorbaty was at the Moscow School of New Cinema. Since its formation, the group has developed short films, videos, and live performances. Its members see the world as an ever-expanding system of signs – science, politics, reality and fiction, human and non-human objects.
