Three Elements
Updated#2 24.12.2017 (edit). This is a film-omnibus consisting of four slightly crossing stories. 'Fire' is poetical story telling on provincial boy first arrived to the big city. 'Water' is a thriller telling on the guy who affraid of water. 'Air' tells tragic story of strange and free in mind girl (based on Bunin's 'Light Breathing'). And 'Earth' is a short conclusion giving an light smile. The film is as innocent and ironical at the same time as their authors. This film is made by the students led by their teacher Nariman Turebayev, Turan University. Production - Kadam company.

Nariman Turebayev made one short film: Antiromantika (2001, won Grand Prix in Angers-2002) four feature films: Little Men (2003, presented in Locarno-2003, Angers-2004), Sunny Days (2011, Locarno), Adventure (2014, Karlovy Vary), City Filth (2017). His students Maria Isitova, Myrza Baisambekov, Samrat Irzhasov, Altair Kabdushev finished the first year in the Turan University and Three Elements is their first feature film.
The film is an educational project arranged for students to dive them into creation of a movie from inventing the story through all stages of the production. I think it's very important to know inner details of film production in the very beginning of student's education 'cause it gives them huge base of knowledges about cinema. Students wrote, shot, played, edited the film by themselves slightly curated by me. And I think they made it very good! Yours sincerely, Nariman Turebayev.
