„Nasdrowje!”   

Documentary, Russia, 2006-2009 (24min.)

Fundings: Westphal/Esquerré

Distribution: equatorpictures.com

Pitch: Nasdrowje demonstrates the catastrophic effects of alcoholism in modern Russia by telling the story of four characters in an unconventional way. Next to filmed interviews, the reportage is supplemented by animated illustrations.
Nasdrowjes caliginous undertone is contrasted to dark elements of sarcastic humour, and supported by scientific facts and statements. The result of this successful experiment makes Nasdrowje a political arthouse film on a timeless scale.
