TODAY WE ARE GOING TO BUILD A HOUSE

Portrait

TRIPLE FEATURE
This early work Loznitsa co-directed with Marat Magambetov deals with one day on a construction site, takes simple routines, movements and music to compose the unusual in the everyday, slotted into the hours between sunrise and sunset. The workers go about their tasks with equanimity, mostly distracted, stopping for breaks, joking, larking about, seemingly not so productive. And yet, something grows, a symphony of becoming unfolds, its lightness communicated by the idea of the end result: shelter, accommodation, a home.
