- Synopsis
- "PATH" is a groundbreaking docufilm that blurs the lines between eastern mythical storytelling and western narrative structures. Following the journey of a self-identified nomadic contemporary artist, the film captures an extraordinary quest that spans from the majestic heights of Kyrgyzstan’s Tian Shan Range to the ethereal lagoons of Venice.
  
  In an unprecedented endeavor, our protagonist aims to present the first-ever Kyrgyz pavilion at the prestigious 59th Venice Biennale. The film immerses viewers in the artist's turbulent yet inspiring journey, revealing the gritty realities of a project that teeters on the edge of uncertainty.
  
  As deadlines loom and challenges mount, "PATH" explores the intricate tapestry of experiences the artist encounters. From interactions with traditional nomadic craftswomen to navigating the complex political landscape of Central Asia, the film highlights the resilience required to pursue artistic vision. Fundraising efforts in bustling cities like Dubai and London further complicate the narrative, pushing the artist to their limits.
  
  With the Venice Biennale's opening week as a backdrop, "PATH" ultimately showcases the triumph of creativity and the indomitable spirit of those who dare to dream beyond borders.
