Description:
Director Nathalie Alonso Casale presents an intimate portrait of 21st-century Russia through Edgar Figner, a sound-effects artist. For decades, Figner worked at Lenfilm Studios in St. Petersburg, transforming everyday objects into sounds for films from the silent era to today. Facing the pressures of modern Russia, he increasingly retreats into memories of his own life and Russian cinematic history. As reality and film scenes intertwine, Figner's work becomes a soundtrack to the muted culture shaped by the Soviet past. This blend of documentary, reality, and cinematic imagery offers a deeply sensitive look at the unspoken aspects of Russian social, political, and cinematic life.
