From the harsh, nomadic life on the tundra to an uncertain future with five children. Four years in the life of a strong and charismatic woman. Life is raw and harsh out in the Arctic tundra, where young Ivanna lives a nomadic life with her five children. A tough and charismatic woman who is put to the test when she has to give up the traditional life of the Nenets people and move to the city. The climate is changing, her reindeers are dying, and her husband, Gena, has turned into an alcoholic because of his job at a gas plant. And even though Ivanna can put both him - and everyone else - in their place with her killer gaze and no-nonsense attitude, she harbours a desire to liberate herself from the violent relationship. Four years in Ivanna’s life have become a formidable film created with an artist’s eye for the material texture of the world where an image of a sleeping child, three fish and a hungry cat almost become a cosmic motif. This is vital, physical film art with an unforgettable woman at its centre. Meanwhile, Ivanna’s letters, which are read aloud by herself, lift her story above the raging of the elements. Director Renato Borrayo Serrano, who was born in Guatemala and lives in Russia, has created a drama about liberation and a melancholy requiem about a bygone way of life.

在美国,警察被赋予了控制人们个人生活的非凡权力。警察决定谁是可疑的,谁“符合描述”。他们定义威胁,并决定如何应对。他们要求人们服从,并附带不断的暴力威胁。真实的和可感知的犯罪行为以及对社会秩序的威胁均由警方制定,成千上万这样的互动每天在大城小镇中上演。警察使国家的抽象权力变得具体。 《权力背后》追溯了金钱的积累,政治权力的巩固,以及几乎不受限制的两党支持,正是这些支持创建了我们所知的警察制度。从 18 世纪的奴隶巡逻,到 19 世纪第一个公共资助的警察部门,再到 20 世纪 60 年代和 20 世纪 20 年代的起义,这部电影提供了一段直击内心的沉浸式旅程,展示了历史的演进历程。 部分文章,部分采访,部分档案拼贴,《权力背后》用历史材料来阐述我们当下的现实,并探讨与不断增长而且在很大程度上未受到限制的权威有关的紧迫问题:谁被监管,谁被保护,谁来决定,以及理由为何。
