História

Yaron Cohen (1985, Nijmegen) studied directing documentary at the University of the Arts Utrecht, The Netherlands. After his studies, he has directed and produced documentaries, which were selected for several international film festivals and broadcasted on Dutch television (VPRO, Human, 2DOC). Often his documentaries tell intimate, observing, stories about people, their personal struggles and their resilience, which show the human side of macro-social and political developments. Since 2019 Yaron and his good friend Jefta Varwijk started Edge of Cinema - an initiative to promote feature films, documentaries, short films and installations that explore and exceed the boundaries between storytelling and art. Besides making documentaries, Yaron's love for storytelling outs itself also in other visual languages such as analog photography.

During the war between Abkhazia and Georgia in the early nineties, 87-year-old Toro fled to Georgia with his cousin and his cousin's wife. Since then they have been living together in a remote village. Despite Toro's endless positivity, humour and resilience, the harsh reality starts kicking in. Until the quiet comes is a story about dependency and the strength to carry on in times where everything seems to fall apart, told with a touch of tragedy, humour and vodka.
