January is an autobiographical take on the political upheaval in the early 1990s that changed the lives of the people of the former Soviet Union. Jazis and his friends Anna and Zeps are all aspiring filmmakers, trying to pursue their dreams of making movies and enjoying the freedom of young adulthood, when the collapse of the political system in the region upends their plans, family ties and friendship. Their experience and participation in the nonviolent resistance through the construction of barricades and human shields becomes the defining moment of their lives.
January has won multiple awards (Tribeca Best International Narrative Feature, Rome Film Festival, Warsaw FF) and screened at festivals across the globe, including Tallinn, AFI, Oslo, Tromsø, Boston and many more.
