Ataman 2016

Directed by Mariya Sedyaeva

Park. Summer. The trees are so happy with the sun that they look like flowers. The chirp of a bird and an empty bench, on which sits a gray-haired old man-he is in a blue uniform, holding a notebook in his hands. What's he doing here? He says he's going to kill... This film is part of the documentary animation project "What am I Doing Here", conceived as a collaboration between playwright Sabrina Karabayeva and animator Maria Sedyaeva. The authors walk the streets of Yekaterinburg and ask all passers-by the same question: "What are you doing here?". Caught off guard, they tell the story as it is.
