LIOMPA
Feature Short
Liompa, based on the 1928 short story by Russian Soviet novelist Yuri Olesha, explores the relationship between an individual and the things that he owns or desires to own throughout his life. The film looks at this relationship from the perspective of three people at different stages: a dying man, a teenage boy and a four-year-old. The gorgeously crafted short film, a crowd favorite at the Toronto International Film Festival, was directed, and adapted by award-winning film-maker Elizabeth Lazebnik and features a captivating performance by Russian stage and screen star Alexey Serebryakov.
