Production[edit]
Georg Friesen came to Moscow in the early 90s and entered the Gerasimov Institute of Cinematography, where he got into the workshop of Sergey Solovyov and studied from 1990 to 1995. In 1993, Georg Friesen's friends offered to make a low-budget amateur film using money from the sale of vodka, to which he agreed. Georg Friesen was inspired by Peter Greenaway's works to create the film and was guided by German expressionism. The main role in the film went to the People's Artist of Russia Victor Avilov.[3] The film was distributed by Georg Friesen's friends on behalf of Multi-Media-Marketing.[4]
The film was considered lost for a long time, until on July 13, 2021, people from the VKontakte community "From Outer Space" digitized a VHS copy of the film, which was kept by one of the cinematographers Dmitry Ermakov.
Then the community organized a fundraiser to digitize the film from 35mm film, after which this version was posted in December 2021.[5]
On May 21, 2022, the film was shown in Vladivostok as part of the Long Night of Museums event.[6]
