Territory of Darkness

hybrid Documentary, 88 min.

Territory of Darkness follows Russian-speaking migrants in Israel across generations: from Holocaust survivors to young émigrés caught between wars. Echoes of Soviet trauma meet the silence of a present marked by dislocation and denial. Fragmented memories unfold against a landscape shaped by history, ideology and personal avoidance. Referencing Joseph Conrad’s Heart of Darkness, the title gestures toward the blurred lines between refuge and complicity.
