Pink Doll

July 1997 •Russian

A careless mother is going on a date with another fan and, in order to brighten up her daughter's loneliness, leaves her alone with a pink doll - the same doll that "wanders around the city and why it is vain to destroy little children". The girl considers the doll to be very realistic, therefore she associates it with herself, and herself with her mother. So begin the serious experiences of a girl who understands that this doll bought off her. At night, the girl dreams a terrible dream in which the doll embodies all her fears... "Pink Doll" creates the illusion of a spellbound fall into the abyss of children's dreams, fantasies and nightmares. The sensual effect is achieved by the game of scale and angle, the nervous rhythm of intraframe movement and graphic thickening of reality.

The Ogre's Garden

February 2019 •English

This short piece is somewhat romantic, despite its title. We do see the ogre however. He inverts himself into the action throughout the film. As usual, the action is partly symbolic, partly surreal.
