Finding Babel

Finding Babel" follows Andrei Malaev-Babel, his 45-year old grandson, on a journey to come closer to some sense of truth. Hoping to better understand Babel's powerful artistic method and elusive persona, Andrei journeys through Ukraine, France and Russia, locations deeply tied to the story of his grandfather. With each stop, he gets closer to the complex stories that Babel wrote with depth and hidden meaning. These stories are woven into the film with ethereal animation that puts the viewer, like Babel's readers, somewhere between reality and fiction.
