A film crew choppers over the vast plains of the Siberian tundra and descend on an isolated clan of nomadic reindeer herders. Unfortunately, the people who live in this extreme environment, want nothing to do with the filmmakers. Siberia is memoir of a journey, a love affair and an ill-fated film-shoot in Russia’s Arctic north. It’s a wry tale of love, loss and grim hope, told through re-working hundreds of photographs taken in the early 1990s, shortly after the reforms of glasnost and perestroika
