Strange to Meet You Inspired by Coffee and Cigarettes

This short film is an adaptation inspired by Coffee and Cigarettes by Jim Jarmusch, created as part of a directing course project. The film explores the awkwardness of casual conversation, the absurd logic of everyday interactions, and the strange intimacy that can emerge between two people sharing coffee and cigarettes. While based on the spirit of Jarmusch's work, this adaptation reinterprets the material through a contemporary perspective, incorporating elements of improvisation and naturalistic performance. Directed and adapted by Elizabete Klara Vilumane. CAST Andris – Maksim Bogdanov Robert – Yuri Makarov CREW Director & Screenwriter Elizabete Klara Vilumane Director of Photography Nikolay Vasilenok
