Mountain Men and Holy Wars

2003 • 56 min

Under Shamil Basayev, Chechnya has resorted to kidnapping, terror and brutal guerrilla warfare to fight for its freedom. But his battle and tactics are not new. At the start of the 19th century, another Shamil, Imam Shamil, used hostage taking and militant Islam to fight for an independent Islamic Chechnya. He was decried as a terrorist by Russia, and loved as a hero by his people. We document his legacy and show how his guerrilla war is unlikely to stop until Chechnya is free. Essential viewing examining the roots of one of the world's bloodiest and most protracted wars.

Far Away

2003 • 16 min

No new footage was taken, and everything was spliced ​​together from previously shot 8mm film. When I've been shooting 8mm for this long, I often forget what kind of memories I've taken. When I took it out and looked at it in a viewer, I saw my friend, who had already died, smiling happily. My friend, who I don't know if he's still alive, is also smiling. Even though I was supposed to be surrounded by humiliation every day, I was able to look happy as I posed for the camera. That's right, I thought, this is a running light. A flip book about life that you read just before you die.
