The Harriman Institute is pleased to cosponsor First Look 2025, the Museum of the Moving Image’s acclaimed festival of innovative new international cinema. Please join us for the New York premiere of Pavel G. Vesnakov’s film “Windless” (Bulgaria/Italy).

After years working in Spain, a brooding, taciturn young man (Bulgarian rapper Fyre) returns to his village in rural Bulgaria to clean out his late father’s flat. As he reconnects with old friends and relatives, he hears tales of his father, but he cannot square these stories of a fiercely protective, deeply loving man with the remote patriarch of his childhood. A film of richly textured images, shot in a square 1:1 aspect ratio that perfectly evokes large format portraiture, Vesnakov’s “Windless” endows its classic story of filial reckoning with a precise visual language that’s both thrillingly unfamiliar and poetically apt. 2024 European Film Awards Selection.

With Ognyan Pavlov (aka Fyre), Veselin Petrov.

In Bulgarian with English subtitles.
