Siberian Drea [Trailer] – FESCH.TV

FESCH.TV INFORMIERT:

Irina Pantaeva grew up in a family of artists and shaman during the final years of Soviet rule. Her parents both worked in the theater. At age 14, Irina was discovered and trained as a model by a local designer. Fashion was equated with capitalism and she was stigmatized by school authorities and called a prostitute. After Gorbachev came to power, she was able to fly to Moscow to find work and send money home. In 1991, after auditioning for Pierre Cardin’s first Moscow show, Irina’s career took off, leading her to Paris then New York. Ten years later, Siberia is still close to her heart. Irina and her son, Ruslan, take us back to gain insight into their ancient Buryat-Mongol culture that resisted assimilation during the Soviet period in Siberian Dream.
