THE CHRONICLES OF ANACHORET: “I HAVE NOWHERE TO GO”

The Chronicles of Anachoret is an experimental film at the intersection of mimodrama, expanded cinema, and philosophical reflection on war, memory, and displacement. It continues the narrative of the previous movie “Synumeru - soniakh”, where the shock of catastrophe fractures time, dissolving linearity and pushing the protagonists into a state of post-traumatic delirium.
