MOE GOES TO THE BEACH * (Moscow Short Film Festival, Moscow, Russia 2012)

Ben Meyers’ rating: 4.3|5.0 Starsìììì

Moe Goes to the Beach—
7-minute short film—features a small creature who lives underground. Creator Anna Kadykova says a lot in this short film, but is wise enough to make the audience search for it. A strong and wise statement about looking in magazines/advertising brochures and developing a dream.

? Yes? No? Maybe?

Yes. It’s highly creative and completely works for a select audience. Director Anna Kadykova’s short film leads to an exceptionally profound conclusion and makes its audience search for the answer to the question, ‘How to find happiness.’


*Also known as “The Mole at Sea” or “Krot na more” (2012 Russian release). This short film won numerous international awards and made its route through at least 61 film festivals.
