Gamburtsevs is the debut short film of duo Gamburtsevs who wrote, directed, shot, acted in and edited the film as well as writing, performing and mixing the soundtrack. It tells the story of someone working alone in a seed storage vault, under a mountain on Svalbard. It uses a soundtrack of rock music and bleak visuals to capture a sense of personal isolation, embracing the majesty of nature as it explores humanity’s relationship with the planet, spirituality and mental health.Gamburtsevs was filmed in the Lake District, Redcar beach, South Shields, Whitby, Westgarth Social Club, Shap Fell Bothy, Kalvedon Hatch Nuclear Bunker, South Downs and Brighton. The Soundtrack was recorded by Allen and Horner in an old telephone repeater station on Shap Fell in Cumbria.
The film has received praise from international film festivals including: International Film Festival Glasgow, Los Angeles Film Awards, Athens International Monthly Art Film Festival and Tokyo Lift-off Film Festival.
The soundtrack to the film is now being given it’s own release on LP through AckAckAck Records. With the final deft touch of design from Oli Heffernan. The LP is complete and is to be released on 7th Nov 2025 with screenings of the film to accompany the release.
