- DirectorAlexander DukhonReferred to as "The Blue Heart of Siberia", Lake Baikal is the deepest lake on Earth, it magically lures different cultures to coexist and fuse peacefully within its realm of mind-blowing beauty. We set out to capture the essence of this unique area in the exquisite new documentary film "Baikal" directed by Alexander Dukhon. Baikal's filming commenced in February 2013 with eight adventurous film crew members embarking on a grueling ten-day trip through the Lake Baikal region. Located in central Asia, it was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1996, and also contains approximately twenty percent of the globe's unfrozen fresh surface water. The shoot took place in just seven days in extreme weather conditions of minus thirty degrees Celsius with few sunlight hours over the short winter days. The team made their way along the lake's western coast, visiting Olkhon Island and Ulan-Ude, the capital of the Republic of Buryatia in Russia. Beautiful soundtrack and powerful sound design reflect the eerie atmosphere of Lake Baikal's land and spirit. The film warmly depicts the human element in a sub-zero and unearthly landscape by sharing endearing stories of the local people whose hearts belong to it.
