The First Cold

The First Cold (1996)

An attempt to express the relationship between space and the ability to reflect it. The result of these relations can be considered the non-representational nature of space, as a tangible form, and the tendency of space to have consciousness. We are talking about "inward-directed" vision and "outward-directed" vision. Hence the abandonment of normal voice acting in favor of the aesthetics of silent cinema; on the audio track you will only hear the recorded crackle of a film projector and the quiet off-screen conversations of some people. The film is based on Andrei Platonov's story "The Potudan River", the film adaptation of which for Edward Shelganov, as well as for Alexander Sokurov, became a debut in cinema.

Director: Eduard Shelganov
