Aleksey Ukranian film artist made this film for the track Stranger Land.
Words and reflections by Aleksey:
This video was shot in the abandoned part of the Odessa Film Studio in 2015. Odessa Film Studio was one of the leading film producers in the USSR. Dozens of talented directors, cinematographers, and actors worked there, leaving their mark in the history of Soviet cinema. After the collapse of the country, the studio building decayed.
What is seen may evoke reflections on the past greatness and glory of the studio, on creativity covered in the cobwebs of oblivion. The director conveys an emotional atmosphere of silence reigning inside the empty studios and corridors, creating a feeling of abandonment and desolation. Only the whisper of the wind can be heard, or the sound of water dripping through the damaged roofs and windows.
Visual execution is the centerpiece of this work, it creates a nostalgic atmosphere and conveys sadness and melancholy.
