We are very excited that you are joining us at the very onset of our new project –a documentary feature film about people of Kamchatka. In 2007 when I crossed half of Siberia with my son Gleb (train, hitchhiking, buses), I arrived to Kamchatka and I met a wonderful woman, Anfisa who brought me to a small village where I saw the story that needs to be told.

It is a remote village that tourists or authorities don’t go to. The landscape is beautiful and raw (volcanoes, black sand beaches, dense forests full of wild horses and bears), people are strong and kind (Russians and Native Itelmen), their stories are tragic and funny.

Please stay with us, as a team of four filmmakers: Irina, Steve, Chris and Gus will travel to Kamchatka this July. We will post daily reports diligently and you will be the first to know who was eaten by a bear or got shot by a disillusioned Canadian hunter.

Living Here. Kamchatka Tale, is a feature documentary about life in one of the least known places on the planet in the remote Russian Far East, across from Alaska. The film will focus on three characters living in a small village of Dolinovka. It is a tale of love and death, weddings and funerals, crumbling old huts and chic condominiums, wild horses and hungry bears, Russia and America…
