Goodbye, Cinephiles

Directed by Stanislav Bytiutskyi

The lights go out. Three friends in the dark share memories of their love for cinema and seem to bid farewell—whether to one of their own leaving abroad or to their cinephile youth. After, they drift into a bohemian gathering at the old Master Klass House of Culture, then fade into a screen dawn. The revolution is over, emigration never came, the cinemas are closed. What remains are melancholy, escape, and memory.
