Коктебель / Koktebel

Ojciec i syn wyruszają pieszo w podróż z Moskwy do miejscowości Koktebel na Krymie. Chłopiec jest zafascynowany opowieścią ojca o pewnej górze, której cudowne właściwości pozwalają spełnić odwieczny sen ludzkości o lataniu. Ich podróż pełna jest dziwnych przygód i niebezpieczeństw. Na swojej drodze spotykają najprzeróżniejszych ludzi, nie zawsze gotowych przyjść im z pomocą, dzięki którym chłopiec zyskuje dojrzałe spojrzenie na otaczający go świat. Nastrojowy debiut reżyserskiej pary Popogrebski-Chlebnikow, nagrodzony m.in. na festiwalach w Moskwie i Karlowych Warach.

A widowed aeronautics engineer, who has lost his job, travels with his son hopping freight trains from Moscow to Koktebel, a town by the Black Sea, to start a new life with the father's sister. After they are stopped by a train guard, they continue their travel on foot. The father battles against his alcohol addiction and the son is fascinated with the idea of flight. One rainy day an old man accepts them in his house in return for the repair of the roof. The father gives in to the alcohol offered by the old man, who in a drunken brawl accuses him of stealing money and shoots him. A young female village doctor takes care of him and a romantic relationship between the two ensues. The father feels reluctant to continue the journey. The son leaves alone and a truck driver gives him a ride to Koktebel. However, his aunt has left for the summer.
Koktebel is the award winning first feature by two Russian film makers, Boris Khlebnikov and Alexei Popogrebsky. They are part of the Russian New Wave of young directors and their script won the European Pitch Point Event in Berlin in 2001. At the Moscow Film Festival in 2003 the completed film won the Grand Prize as well as the FIPRESCI Award and at the Karlovy Vary festival it won the Phillip Morris Prize.
The film was shown in Toronto, Pusan, Palm Springs, Berlin (Forum) and Sofia, as well as Cannes, where it showed as FIPRESCI REVELATION OF THE YEAR 2003 in the Critic's Week, chosen as 'best of the best'; among the young filmmakers for 'its depth and variation of characters, its rich humour, its subtle interweaving of spirituality, its clever script and its mature classical direction.
