Kunashir written and directed by Vladimir Kozlov is selected to FIFIG (full-length competition program).
Kunashir, one of the main islands of the Kuril Archipelago, situated 16 kilometres from Japan, was occupied by the Soviet army in 1945. A year later, after a short period of cohabitation, 17000 Japanese and Ainus who were living in the Kurils and in Sakhalin were deported to the island of Hokkaido. Since that time Japan has demanded the return of the Kuril Islands. A peace treaty between the two countries has not been signed to date.

Cette édition « Regards d’îliennes », nous l’avons rêvée, imaginée, ciselée, presque bouclée puis différée, et à nouveau rêvée… nous espérons donc pouvoir la vivre avec vous du 18 au 23 août.
Et ainsi, par un pied de nez au calendrier, fêter également et dignement les 20 ans du Fifig !
