The Legend
France 2025
Duration: 03:56
Directed: Daria Yurishcheva
Screenplay: Daria Yurishcheva
Production: Daria Yurishcheva
Dialogue Language: English
The film is a naïve account of a serious issue: torture and discrimination in Russian prisons. Minority groups - Muslims, Ukrainians, queer people, people of colour - are particularly at risk. The film is based on a true story, but such stories are unfortunately commonplace. The animated film is less frightening than the real thing, because it is an attempt to talk about violence without reproducing it on screen. The film was made as part of Masha Godovannaya's course at Smolny beyond Borders.
