How I Ended This Summer - the best film at the 54th BFI London Film Festival 

How I Ended This Summer, showing at 8pm, Sunday 31 Oct, at the 4th Russian Film Festival, was named the best film at the 54th BFI London Film Festival at yesterday's ceremony at London’s LSO St Luke’s

'With elemental themes of isolation, alienation and the power of misunderstanding, How I Ended This Summer is a visceral psychological drama set in the immersive landscape of the windswept Arctic,' said Patricia Clarkson, Chair of the jury. 'Director Alexei Popogrebsky has combined stunning cinematography with painterly attention to production detail and drawn intense and subtle performances from actors Grigory Dobrygin  and Sergei Puskepalis . The film turns the hunter-versus-hunted narrative on its head to provoke powerful questions about life and death, resilience and human compassion. Tense, moving and universal in its scope, this is a cinematic tour de force.'

How I Ended This Summer stars Grigory Dobrygin and Sergei Puskepalis already hold a Silver Bear each from the Berlin Film Festival earlier this year.
