We're looking for characters and stories
Andrey Konchalovsky is preparing a new documentary-art project on Russian villages which are at risk of disappearing.
If you have an interesting story to share about the inhabitants of scarcely populated villages, we invite you to share it with us. We would like to hear about life in these settlements, what stops people from leaving these places where life is far from easy, what keeps them in their native land. We are interested in stories that reflect the value system of villagers, their relationships, habits, joys, sorrows, how they conduct their lives, their experiences, and so on.
We're also looking for the main character of the film: a postman whose route covers sparsely populated villages. If you know a post-office worker who is aware that his job does not just mean delivering press and letters, but also makes him the villagers' only connection with the outside world, please help us to contact him!
We invite journalists to work on this project.
Please send us an email to village@konchalovsky.ru
Please keep in mind that only stories related to this project will be considered. We will not be able to look at applications, scripts or ideas for other projects.
