LeF (2016)

Directed by Dmytro Lavrinenko

Overview

Director Dmitry Lavrinenko, famous for his documentary about the rock band Auktyon (АукцЫон) “Encore”, mounts the story of Fedorov from images equally momentary and eternal, and stories at the same time everyday and worldly.
Phantoms and chronicles, tales about recording the first solo album in an unheated Lendok studio, a confessional story about the death of his father, memories of meeting Henri Volokhonsky and Khvost (Aleksei Khvostenko), who scared dad with his complete freedom from reality, drinking vodka at a meeting with grateful and not very listeners. Behind the mosaic painting is a whole story about the thorny path of the artist, the courage to leave the comfort zone and spiritual poetry, which the film is looking for a visual equivalent.
