Nine Forgotten Songs

About This Movie

Nine Forgotten Songs is a deep dive into the spiritual and cultural beliefs of the Komi-Permyak people. This documentary feels raw and atmospheric, like it’s peeling back layers of time. The pacing is contemplative; it allows you to sit with the weight of ancestral curses that feel so real to the community. The film eschews flashy visuals for a more grounded approach, focusing on the people and their stories. You get a sense of the haunting melodies that accompany their traditions, which really ties the emotional core together. Not very polished in terms of production, but that adds to its charm.
