Grâce: An Enthralling Expedition into the Russian Periphery at Quinzaine des Réalisateurs
Cannes, France - The Quinzaine des Réalisateurs proudly presents "Grâce" (Grace), an impressive inaugural fiction feature by the talented Russian filmmaker, Ilya Povolotsky. While Povolotsky is renowned for his compelling documentary endeavors, including "Froth" (which debuted at IDFA in 2019) and "Northerners" (a brief glimpse into life on the Kola Peninsula), he now takes a bold step into the realm of narrative storytelling with "Grâce."
"Grâce" unfolds as a poignant drama that follows the journey of a father and his daughter as they traverse the remote expanses of Russia in a timeworn camper van. Povolotsky's keen eye for capturing the tapestry of everyday existence and his exceptional ability to evoke profound emotions come to the fore in this touching exploration of familial bonds set against the backdrop of the expansive Russian landscape.
Hailing from an advertising background and driven by an unyielding passion for storytelling, Povolotsky established the production house Blackchamber, which has been responsible for bringing his previous creations to life, including "Froth," "Northerners," and now, "Grâce." Armed with his unique cinematic vision, Povolotsky introduces a fresh perspective to the Quinzaine des Réalisateurs, captivating audiences with his exploration of human connections amidst the enigmatic Russian periphery.
"Grâce" promises to be a captivating cinematic voyage, seamlessly weaving intimate storytelling with breathtaking visuals. Povolotsky's unparalleled ability to capture the very essence of the Russian landscape, coupled with his talent for portraying authentic human experiences, guarantees that "Grâce" will leave an indelible mark on the hearts of its viewers.
