Press

“If you take into consideration the budget and production conditions of this short, the result is striking!”

Boris Khokhlov,
editor-in-chief, Total DVD magazine

“I’d prefer HHG to show this work at the end of their screening. After the Flood, God said to Noah, ‘Whenever the rainbow appears in the clouds, I will see it and remember the everlasting covenant between God and all living creatures. And the waters shall no more become a flood to destroy all flesh.’ So, next time the humankind will die not of water, but of fire. So this is no illusion, it is how it’s gonna happen.”

Sergei Salnikov,
producer, president of Styk Film Festival
(at the closing ceremony of Pure Dreams Film Festival)
