RUSSIAN TRADITION AND THE PICTS
Russian artist and filmmaker, Uldus Bakhriozina in October 2014, was named one of the 100 women who were changing the world for the better by the BBC. In June 2016, Vogue Italia named Bakhtiozina the best young fashion photographer at PhotoVogue. She is a member of the Royal Society of Arts in London, where she has lived for a long time The fairy tale film Tzarevna Scaling (The Fisherman's Daughter, 2020), in which she is actress, director and costume designer, has won many awards in many countries.
It has been 10 years, will Uldus really have changed the world for the better? What about the other 99 people nominated?
I honestly don't know and I don't have much time to research. If someone paid me I would very gladly do it.
The photo I post is a personal reproduction of an ancient illustration: "A Young Daughter of the Picts" by Jacques Le Moyne de Morgues , ca. 1585.
About the Picts, a savage, warlike and richly tattooed people, there would be so much to say. Another time.

Tzarevna Scaling. Official Trailer from Uldus Bakhtiozina on Vimeo.
“Tzarevna Scaling” is the cinematic debut by Russian woman artist Uldus Bakhtiozina who presents herself in this work as a director, screenwriter and costume designer. This is a folk tale film about journey to the dream in a world driven by pursuit of benefits, where everyone’s for themselves; in a society that may only be described in terms of satire. A young fishmonger named Polina Schukina lost her heart and sleep over the disappearance of her brother Sasha, she hardly tells reality apart anymore. So, she accepts a dubious present from a stranger customer, then she falls for everything a TV ad is preaching. Its promises to her are complete uplift of all the hardships and instant turning into a real-life Tzarevna of Russian folk tales – a Tzar’s daughter with a hand in sorcery, that is. All Polina has to do is leave her room – and behind the door the fairy tale awaits. That turns out not quite what Polina has expected: she is met with impenetrable cynicism of a front desk, a queue of fellow seeking girls deranged with waiting time and own ambition; the thick air of a Soviet public presence and bureaucracy drowned with the paperwork. Only the attires of local officers mark a degree of truth to the advertising pledges. Soon Polina understands that all here is for a reason and follows a strict regimen of proppian folk tale analysis. She throws herself to a trial of errors, disappointments and quests on the way to the perceived success of becoming a Tzarevna. To discover her true qualification, she even has to master elegant, but temporary death. Telling a folk tale is a simple undertaking, but in this film the pronounced linear plot is set against a vivid visual component that combines fantastical realms of the lore with citations from Russian cultural reality. Frame structure, complex symbolism of costumes, expressive posturing and makeup reminiscent of 1920s cinema lend the production an air of theatricality. The cast represents the ethnic variety of Russian peoples and mostly female characters of the film deliver a whole and convincing portrait of Russian society today. Dynamic and daring, “Tzarevna Scaling” is a false mirror of satire reflecting the present and the future of Russia that inevitably contain its rich and controversial historical past.
