Paris-based international sales and production company Totem Films have boarded debutant Malika Musaeva’s “The Cage is Looking for a Bird,” which will receive its world premiere i…
The film focuses on a group of Chechen women living in a remote rural village and their struggles to defend their right for freedom and the choice to live their own lives. At the centre is a friendship between two teenage girls, on the verge of adulthood, who seek refuge in each other as they navigate decisions around their future.
Musaeva said: “The experiences of my characters are very familiar to me, and I can relate to them. In the process of making the film, I realised that to some extent I myself am the protagonist. The fact that this is the first time a film in the Chechen language will be shown at an event of this magnitude makes it even more important for me personally.”
Totem Films said in a statement: “Malika’s cinema is a blend of painting and quiet rage. We are so proud to accompany her first international steps. It’s rare to encounter such a strong cinema gesture.”
