Mologa. Russian Atlantis

2011 · 53 min

A quiet, sorrowful documentary that lingers like a drowned bell, mixing archival memory with dramatised grief for a vanished town.

Overview
This city is no longer on the map. In the 30-40s of the twentieth century, during the construction of the Rybinsk reservoir, seven hundred villages, one hundred and forty churches and monasteries, the ancient Russian city of Mologa went under water. An area of 4,600 kilometers was flooded. The deceased city carried away a secret that has not been solved so far.
