The Devil's Bridge

Life in a Kyrgyz aul (village) in the mountains connected to the rest of the world by a cable bridge, and the teenage boys who are constructing the rope of the bridge. A rope bridge which the locals call “The devil’s bridge” forms part of each and every event which takes place in a small village lost in the mountains of the Kyrgyz Republic. A platform driven by a huge winch which they have to pull with their own strength to cross the torrent is their only link with the outside world. But the director of the documentary wondered something else: “Does this bridge unite or does it actually separate?” Through the mist and over the thrashing waters, the inhabitants of the area glide along their ropes. A film, in the director’s own words, about ordinary people who live in an extraordinary place.

Awakening

From outside, the world seeps into the ear, threatening with all its possibilities, live and in color. So better to turn around once more, close your eyes, and keep on dreaming. Yet reality is harsher: Pull yourself together! Open the window! That window which grants surprising insights from astonishing perspectives, and which also opens in the cinema, that place of unexpected answers to unasked questions. With precision and perfection, Joanna Hogg shapes that threshold moment of unrest and resistance, followed by the realization that nothing better could possibly have come to mind in order – finally! – to move and to act.
