The Last Winter

Jaro Minne’s Da-dzma

Savina Petkova
30.05.2025

In his work, Belgian director Jaro Minne frequently explores the crossovers between East and West. He spent time in Georgia, resulting in the photography series “Passenger”, interested in the human face and the human scale of things in an overwhelming world. Rather painterly aesthetics are used to subtly convey a socio-political point. In Da-Dzma, Minne does something similar: through sparse compositions, little dialogue, and minimal sound design, the short lets us peek into a world of feelings one frame at a time.
