At the 28th FilmFestival Cottbus - Festival of East European Cinema, held 6-11 November, the film “Ayka” won an Interfilm award for giving a face to the faceless and helping the audience discover the sufferings of the marginalized.
Using an unconventional kinetic and visceral style of filmmaking, the film, directed by Sergei Dvortsevoj, tells the story of a Kyrgyz migrant woman, Ayka, in Moscow. The plot depicts the exploitation, abuse and hardship of migrants.
“Films are essential in telling the stories of the wounds of the people, and in inspiring us to pursue justice and peace for all,” said Marianne Ejdersten, WCC director of Communication.
Interfilm is an international interchurch film organization.
