Synopsis
Brother and Sister - same Satan (Water and Wind) is an evolved version of Brother and Sister - same Satan (She hadn't... He woudn't...) that I had been filming during workshop of 6th Queer Filmmaking Atelier of Queer Voices Festival in 2023. Back then, for the first time, I told a story of me and my dead sister, what she hadn't become and what I wouldn't become. It was about a connection between us, her influence, our similarities, queerness. It was a dialogue. I presented an idea that the dead keep being present and on a rise of fascism and era of non-truth, it could be a bridge to reality and origins in a wider socio-political context.
Brother and Sister - same Satan (Water and Wind) is a confession to the dead about what happened after their passing. It is a conflicted between remembering the dead and seeing the living. It is an example of the fight between "the idea" (death) and "the fact" (living person) The movie is a journey from hatred, resentment, grudge to acceptance, mourning, love.
The film doesn’t aim to give a conclusion nor concrete resolution-ending to the event and conflict. In my opinion, the repetitive bugging thoughts and speculations stay forever because there is no resolution-ending without the voice of the other side, the presence can only offer an acceptance and moving on.
*Brother and Sister - same Satan (ukr/rus) - rephrase of “Husband and Wife - same Satan” made and constantly repeated by my sister that means together as one, bonded, the same.
*Water and Wind - the name comes from zodiac signs: Scorpio and Gemini"
* The narration in the movie is in three languages: Ukrainian, Russian and English to show three points in life: adulthood (Ukrainian), childhood-adolescence (Russian) and finding myself in an art field (English)
