While the Sky is Watching

2026 · 75 min

A quiet, earnest look at young artists wrestling with whether to chase fame or stay true to their craft.

Overview: Underground dancers — Alice, Arseny, Stepan, Timur, Kirill, Lyosha and Kristina — are engaged in free creativity. They dream of getting recognition, but staying true to themselves. One day they get a chance to turn the game around: take part in a big documentary project and a TV show. Everyone will have to answer the question of why they dance — for the sake of popularity or at the call of their hearts.
How it feels: Earnest, melancholic and tense. Measured and needs your attention.
About: Identity, art, ambition, friendship
Content: Mild sexual content and language. No violence or gore.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
