Lightdox at Cannes 2022

ACID Cannes 2022, Market screenings at Marché du Film

We’re coming to Cannes, this time in person!

We are so proud to share that Marusya Syroechkovskaya‘s touching and intimate feature debut HOW TO SAVE A DEAD FRIEND is part of the ACID Cannes program at this year’s Festival de Cannes! 

“Through a dazzling metaphor that runs all along the movie, the self-destruction of Russian youth becomes a mirror for the self-destruction of the whole country, which sinks into a hopeless bad trip. […] The editing, guided by a voice over which opposes its softness to an unbearable world, constantly pushes the story towards unexpected places. Towards a story of love and tenderness. There are moments of joy which shine bright in the night. And the inner luminous part of these two companions reveals itself when they stand on the edge of the abyss, like a cry of rage against a regime, or a last-ditch struggle to confront death.”
