Competition - Fiction

Numbers

By Héloïse Roman & Oleg Sentsov

Ten characters, each wearing a number and not knowing each other’s names nor where they come from, practice daily rituals, subject to rules as strict as they are useless under the eye of armed guards and an omnipotent chief. Welcome to a dystopian, ferocious and absurd world led by Ukrainian dissident Oleg Sentsov from the Russian prison in which he was held from 2014 to 2019! An unclassifiable, raw, and deeply haunted film.

Directed in collaboration with Akhtem Seitablaiev

Copresented with the HEAD-Genève and the International Coalition for Filmmakers at Risk (ICFR)
