Yalta: A Story of Disappearance

The short film titled 'Yalta (a story of disappearance)' presents the archival footage from the famous Yalta conference - a historic meeting between Franklin D. Roosevelt, Winston Churchill and Joseph Stalin, which took place in Russia in February 1945. The conference, which brought to a close the short-lived period of hope and optimism produced by the wartime collaboration between the USSR and the Western Allies, is often considered a starting point for the Cold War. The film shows behind-the-scenes of the conference through the eyes of a fictitious character, a member of the American delegation Lt. Peter Rigdon; it attempts to explain the mystery of Rigdon`s subsequent disappearance by examining the footage shot at the conference - and fails to do so.
