Chechen Documentary ‘Imago’ Debuts Clip Ahead of Cannes Premiere, Rediance Handles Sales (EXCLUSIVE)
An exclusive clip of Chechen documentary “Imago,” directed by Déni Oumar Pitsaev, is being debuted.
Returning to a village just across the Chechen border where he was born – a place he barely knows – he stirs up old feuds, buried family dramas, and above all, the question everyone keeps asking: when, and with whom, is he finally going to get married? In a statement, the director said: “When my cousin invited me to spend a summer in Pankissi, I knew I would have to confront everything I had spent years running from: the pressure of tradition, the demands of family, the weight of religion, and the silence around identity. It has been supported by the Sundance Institute, ASR and Eurimages, and was part of a number of pitching forums, notably Hot Docs, Toronto, Sheffield and Locarno.
