Although you keep insisting I refuse to admit I am the stinkbug
Communism, infidelity, reincarnation, cannibals with a taste for orthodox priests; all come together in this surreal, darkly humorous short. 'Although you keep insisting I refuse to admit I am the stinkbug', is film about four people in impossible situations realising they are God, and of course so is the stinkbug.
Filmed on location in Rural Georgia, as part of the Caucasus Cinema Residency, writer director Gareth Stack collaborated with four emerging Cinematographers to bring this surrealist phenomenological short to life.
