Director's Statement
I’ve always been convinced that films should arise from sorrow or from joy. DAWN, however, is a particularly singular film – I didn’t know that sorrow and joy could be so simultaneous. Like dying and being born at the same time.
I could tell you that in creating this film I was playing around with the old Soviet fairytale, but that’s not really the case – I did very little playing around with the story. It was more playing around with the energy…
What’s more, I don’t want to say that it’s all so complicated. It isn’t. I’d just rather not use words to describe what I do, using imagery and sound, that is, in making a film. And DAWN is a film. At least I hope so.
