We closely work with key int. festivals, broadcasters, distributors, sales agents, markets, or training initiatives and serve as the GATEWAY TO EAST EUROPEAN DOCUMENTARY FILM.

The train whizzes through the landscape as the passengers slumber. Immovable and vulnerable in their sleep, will they ever wake up or continue on indefinitely? Sergei Loznitsa's The Train Stop will be screened as part of the director's complete retrospective organized by IndieLisboa (January 13 - 16, 2011).

The Train Stop

Director: Loznitsa Sergei
Production company: Studio Okno, RTR-TV

Полустанок , Russia, 2000, 25 min, 35 mm

Speeding trains slice through the silence of the small train stop. The whistle on the locomotive and the thunder of the wheels disappear into the night, but fail to wake up people at the station. People just continue to sleep. What do they wait for? What will wake them up?
