Synopsis

L'ILYA is a young video artist who documents people's suicides and projects their final moments out of context in trendy clubs. The film is classified as a "moyen métrage," or "medium-length feature," a format that is too long to be considered a short film yet too short to qualify as a full-length feature. Because of this classification, the film has faced significant challenges in gaining visibility, even within the festival circuit. Nevertheless, wherever it has been shown, it has left a lasting impression. The film is known to linger in viewers' memories long after its impact has been acknowledged.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 8

These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.

Why a floor?

This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
