Peach Yogurt (Short Film)

  • Olga Bolkisieva
The theme of the character's roaming around the city caught up in an endless search was inspired by the ideas explored in the absurdist novels by Franz Kafka. The slip between the objective and subjective perception that turns the character's reality into absurd, the slip between internal and external 'clock' is interwoven with the disparate narrative lines of the film, which in their intersection appear somewhere on the edge between the character's internal feeling of danger and a real? outside threat.


The execution of this project involved a lot of experimentation, particularly in the manipulation of the storyline through the editing technique. The intersecting lines refer to simultaneous happening of bits of action that at the same time, as we learn, presume continuous order. In some way they are the metaphorically present the travel in time. The continuation of the film's happening seem to be coming out of the character's choices however every bit simultaneously suggests its alternative and interferes with our recognition of what finally WAS the character's choice, Every subsequent bit allows a possibility of its alternative, in between which the character eventually sees no difference, as much as becomes uncertain in reality of any of them.
The film explores the questions of social isolation, the possibility and burden of free choice in the story of an absurd perception.
