Andrey Paounov Retrospective  

She is Lucy, she calls the slate “tsak tsak ”. Rolling credits at the end tell us of her career: for more than 30 years, 56 feature films, three documentaries, two series, 7200 claps of the slate for each film, nearly half a million claps, and over 382 hours of her image on film - without appearing in a single motion picture, until now. A bittersweet portrait of an unsung hero of filmmaking.
