Synopsis
Corners of the Earth: Kamchatka
In February 2022, filmmakers Spencer Frost and Guy Williment, and pro surfers Letty Mortensen and Fraser Dovell started a journey to the unexplored Kamchatka Peninsula in far eastern Russia. After two years of planning, their adventure almost ended before it even started, when Russia invaded Ukraine an hour before their scheduled flight to Moscow. They went anyway.
On the Impossibility of an Homage
Given a portrait, who is responsible for the image we see, the painter or the subject? Ion used to be a a rockstar of Ballet in Communist Romania. When we first discussed the possibility of a portrait, Ion was initially thrilled. He’d been dreaming that someday there’d be a film about him. But during the filmmaking process Ion finds it hard to let go.
