Trip to Albanian village Lukowë, July 2025. The film was lying in a fridge about 2 years before i decided to take it. I was supposing, that some unpredictable effect may happen. It looks interesting, i didn't use any filters, just raw as it is. While journey, we faced with super magnificent and hypnotizing wild forest fires - the closest one was about 700m to our home. Our home was the closest to the fires, so we sat on a roof, took chairs, wine, and were listening the trees crackings, i felt the warmth of it on my face. Beautiful, dangerous. It lasted for a couple of days, and helicopters flew over the seashore all that hour, collecting water for extinguishing. At some moment i regret a bit because i have b\w film, and it wont catch the color of fire - but the result i enjoy! Reminds me "There Will Be Blood" 2007. Most of the time i spent by myself hiking, reading, writing, and thinking, thinking, thinking. So there are also some shoots from my inner cold deep poetic state, which appears just like haiku, of forms, shapes and shades - but say very enough.
