Pismo v Ameriku (S)

Original title: Pismo v Ameriku
Year: 1999
Running time: 20 min.
Country: Ukraine
Director: Kira Muratova
Screenwriter: Sergei Chetvyortkov
Cast: Sergei Chetvyortkov, Uta Kilter, Pavel Makarov, Nikolai Sadnev
Producer: Odessa Film Studios
Genre: Drama | Short Film
Synopsis: The short is made in a typical Muratova style that merges surrealism and reality into a mesmerizing act full of understatement and metaphor.

Some trivia: this is nominally Muratova's first short. However, she herself considers it her fourth - she prefers to think of her Three Stories as three short films instead of a single feature.

The film was made with no budget whatsoever - all Muratova was given were the camera and the film stock. None of the actors were paid. The rumor has it that the film was shot in Muratova's own apartment.

Awards: 1999: Molodist International Film Festival: Best Short Fiction Film
