Svadba Tishiny (Wedding of Silence)
Pavel Medvedev, 2003, RU, 35mm, 28'
A depiction of a world of silence. Medvedev follows a community of deaf people, from the church where the liturgy is celebrated in sign language, to the wedding party where the guests dance to the rhythm of their hearts. The men in the local foundry, unaware of the infernal industrial sounds that surround them, are busy working on a clock destined to commemorate the 300 anniversary of the city of Saint Petersburg; a jubilee they will never get to hear.
