YARAT Contemporary Art Space is delighted to invite everyone to the screening of a new film on January 24.

“The Habit of Breaking up” is a film directed by Ekaterina Telegina.

The film tells  a story of a girl who knows that to have a short glimpse of happiness you need to walk a huge distance. We’re always torn by self-contradictions and doubts, unable to tell why we break with the people we love and the people who love us back. Why do we not have a freedom to stop in this journey and settle down? We can ask ourselves a thousand questions. We can ask those questions to people we used to be close to. But we do it all in order to find our real self.

The screening starts at 19:00. The film will be shown in Russian.

Ekaterina was born in Omsk and graduated from the faculty of Art and Culture at Omsk State Humanitarian University named after F.M. Dostoyevski.

In 2004, she graduated from Internews School of Film and Television.

In 2009, she graduated from film directing department of Russian State Institute of Cinematography (a class led by V. Hotinenko and V. Fenchenko).

Ekaterina has directed films like «Fir trees-3» (2013), «A habit of breaking-up» (2013), «A mind blowing trip» (2016).

Her short film «Gust of Wind» won her many international awards including: SAINT ANNA 2010 for the Best Short Feature Film; Special mention for excellence in cinematography, 2009 Kinotavr Film Festival (Sochi); People’s Choice Award and special jury mention, ARTkino Russian Festival of Art Films; Official Selection, Interfest 25th International Short Film Festival (Berlin) and the 2009 Russian Film Festival in London.
