The Shards
Masha Chernaya / Georgia, Germany / 2024 / 89 min

About the film
Is a deeply personal film, but Masha somehow makes you feel and perceive everything on an emotional, almost visceral level, without needing explanations or context. She explores space in all directions—walls, ruins, streets, people, events—examines her relationship with her boyfriend who is avoiding military conscription, the drama of her mother dying of cancer, the disagreements she has with her father regarding politics and society in Russia, and offers you the chance to look, through her camera lens, into the heart of a contradictory world.
