Film transferred to video, 27 mins
Beket is a film about a small group of people waiting at a bus stop in what seems to be a rural, snowy landscape in Kyrgyzstan. It starts first with two people, who are gradually joined by three others. The dynamics change as each of the people turns up, culminating in a search for an object in the snow.
Moi: The write-up is more interesting than the actual footage. Yawn.
