Filmmaker Ãœlo Pikkov is currently working on his new movie 'Earth,' which explores themes of land ownership and the transformation of love into greed.
Ãœlo Pikkov's new film 'Earth' is currently in production at Nukufilm, reflecting contemporary social issues. The film tells the story of how a dreamer can become a dictator, highlighting the destruction wrought when love turns into a quest for power. Pikkov emphasizes that the narrative is in many ways allegorical, focusing on the historical conflicts over land ownership and the questions of who rightfully holds land and who can take it away.
The production is in the early stages and is expected to continue until summer, with hopes of completing the project by autumn to enter international film festivals. Pikkov notes that the film's themes were significantly influenced by current political events, particularly mentioning the context of the war in Ukraine as a source of inspiration for the storyline. He believes that the question of land remains a pressing topic in today's news, representing deeper societal and political issues.
As the film progresses, it seeks to offer a critical reflection on humanity's enduring struggles for land and the implications that accompany these struggles, raising questions about power dynamics and moral responsibilities in land ownership. The film aims to create a dialogue on these significant themes, positioning itself within both a local and international cinematic landscape.
