Fledgling Russian sales company Ant!pode sales & distribution has taken on international sales for five feature documentary debuts made by graduates from Marina Razbezhkina’s private film academy (Winter, Go Away!).
They are:
* Denis Klebleev’s 31st Haul which was shown by at Paris’ Cinema du Réel and Toronto’s Hot Docs last year;
* Tamara Dondurey’s 21 Days, a sublime portrait of an old woman in her last days in a hospice;
* Denis Shabaev’s Together, a charming road movie about an attempt by a father and daughter to find a common language;
* Kristina Kvitko’s Mousetrap, a family drama from the life of one unusual mother and her children;
* Olga Privolnova’s Zviszhi, a tragic, farce-like sketch of life in the village of Zviszhi located 170 km from Moscow.
Ant!pode intends to add additional titles by graduates from Razbezhkina’s school as they are completed in the future.
