Where the Condors Fly
The Antipodes of Kossakovsky
Carlos Klein, Carlos Klein
Chile, Switzerland, Germany
A Chilean film director accompanies Russian filmmaker Victor Kossakovsky during the shooting of his latest film. While Victor Kossakovsky explores the singular relationships between places and people on opposite sides of the world, Carlos Klein documents the making of this ambitious film in a very personal way, driven by his own inner search for images that still have an impact on us.
It is a personal, critical, deeply humorous reflection about filmmaking and its possibilities and limitations. Like a matrouchka doll, it tells the story of a filmmaker making a film about another filmmaker who is himself making a film.
