Why\ndid we go there? The budget was tiny and we had a chance to rent some lighting\nequipment in Moscow or to go somewhere having nothing. Ofcourse we chose to\ntravel to Baikal and capture this extraordinary place in a very unique state\nwhen the lake is frozen and you are littarely standing on 1 meter of ice and\nthere is a kilometer of water under you. Amazing feeling which is hard to\ndescribe. The weather was changing every 5 minutes, directing us to what has to\nbe shot. It was a lot of of fun just to allow the nature lead you and we are\nvery thankful to everything what we had experienced there. The song is in\nRussian, it is about love, passion, freedom. I hope that the language barrier\nwill not affect the viewing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Geshem \u2013 Telephone (2019)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Director: Kip (Broken Fingaz)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Country: Israel<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Duration: 04:06<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Kozicky \u2013 50<\/strong><strong> (2018)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Director: Martin Kolembar<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Country: Czech Republic<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Duration: 03:14<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Synopsis: Music video for Czech band Kozicky<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Three dots<\/strong><strong> <\/strong><strong>(2019)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Director: Oleg Blinov<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Country: United States<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Duration: 03:51<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Synopsis: Love story of 3 people<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NARRATIVE SELECTION \u00a0\u00a0| \u00a0AUGUST 2019 Riccardo that bounced on to the stars (2019) Director: Lana Vlady Country: Italy Duration: 12:20&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":3046,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[100,110,137,138],"class_list":["post-3045","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-yezhemesyachnyye-nominanty","tag-moscow","tag-official-selection","tag-short-films","tag-shorts"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/moscowshorts.com\/ru\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3045","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/moscowshorts.com\/ru\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/moscowshorts.com\/ru\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/moscowshorts.com\/ru\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/moscowshorts.com\/ru\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3045"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/moscowshorts.com\/ru\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3045\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/moscowshorts.com\/ru\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3046"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/moscowshorts.com\/ru\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3045"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/moscowshorts.com\/ru\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3045"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/moscowshorts.com\/ru\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3045"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
