Event Description
The Gulls

Russia / 87 minutes


Elza wishes to flee from her husband. The marriage is loveless and occasionally violent and her husband Dzhinga is a petty criminal, but Elza gets cold feet and returns to him. When Dzhinga does not return from an illegal fishing trip and is presumed dead, Elza must contend with this new, abrupt reality.  Newly pregnant, she feels a powerful novel sense of freedom.  The Gulls was shot on location in the Russian Republic of Kalmykia. It is the first film to be shot in the area in 25 years, and Kalmyka becomes as much of a character as Elza, with its frosty, anachronistic vibe and myth that tells of the gulls being the souls of the dead fishermen.
