The Voice of Sokurov

The Voice of Sokurov is a delicate portrait of Alexander Sokurov (born 1951). He is one of the internationally best-known Russian directors of his generation. Sokurov has always been an artist true to his own voice and that has been the reason why his journey has not been easy - not during the Soviet years or now. The documentary explores Sokurov’s cinematic world and life perspective through his interesting personality and magnificent work. The film also looks at the societal meaning of cinema as well as the overall purpose of arts and artists. (Estonian Film Institute)
