Creators

Andei Kavun

Director

His diploma film “How much is the fish” was awarded the International Film Festival “Holy Anna” main prize.
Then came TV-series “The Cadets” (2004), “The Team” (2004) and sensational film “Piranha” (2006).
The unique style of Andrei Kavun lies in his ability to combine the thrilling blockbuster genre with the deep psychological elaboration on the characters. That’s why films by Andrei Kavun are so grasping.

Kandahar is not a story about the super-heroes; it is a story about real people, who desired to survive. They had to survive because they were waited for.
