“Constructing Sochi” (WT)

documentary, in post production

The Imeretinskaya Bay – Sochi, the location of the Olympic Winter Games 2014.

We are observing the microcosm of the bay for three years, the process of land appropriation and turbo-modernization is recorded. We learn about the concrete impact of the megaproject on the people for whom the loss of their huge gardens means a loss of livelihood.

The film portrays Lena, Pascha and Volodja in their old and new homes. Through their eyes we experience their attachment to the land, their fight for their homes and the relocation to a newly built settlement.
