Essay: Doomed to Run
Director
Gadzhimurad EfendievOverview
Deeply personal cinematic journey between two worlds—Catholic Venice and Islamic Dagestan.

Through fragments of daily life and raw, intimate phone calls with my mother, I try to make sense of living on the border—between faiths, eras, wars, and pandemics.
