Glimmering

2024 • 17 min

In Glimmering, Vadim Kostrov captures fleeting afternoon light in his backyard. Shot on miniDV and without sound, the film is a silent meditation on impermanence, where glimmers on leaves, fabric, and reflections become a visual poem on time, light, and transience.

Waning

2024 • 7 min

Shot in late August 2024 in Warsaw, Poland; Waning articulates the very essence of fleeting moments of Vadim Kostrov’s life captured in fading late summer light. By using the dispositif of miniDV, the film preserves glimpses of beauty and melancholy of finitude, reflected in fading and almost violent light. As a result, this silent construction of light and shadow—abstract and concrete at the same time—brings us to another realm, proposing the projection of pure impressions and fleeting moments, helping us to feel what the waning really is.

Still Free

2023 • 31 min • Russia

A film must confront the world in which it is made, but also the one in which it is shown. When Vadim Kostrov accompanied young couple Katya and Kostya to a nearby lake, and filmed them with the directness for which he is known, he couldn’t foresee the political implications of these images. At the time Kostya was about to join the Russian military – a decision he came to regret later on. It’s breathtaking to witness the film’s playful innocence, while at the same time measuring every word against the destructive nature of war – yet the film outlines more than a political parable: Kostrov reflectively turns towards the few hours of light in the face of an impending darkness, which linger too briefly.

I Saw

2022 • 29 min • Russia

The film takes us to Nizhny Tagil in September of 2021.

The film is a memory, a gesture that against all odds reminds the true power and beauty of art creation.
