Mu 2014, Blake Mawson, monga ambiri aife, adakhala odabwa pamene Uganda idapereka lamulo lodziwika bwino la "Kill the Gays", ndipo dziko la Russia lidayamba nkhondo yolimbana ndi gulu la LGBT poletsa kutchulapo kuti tili pagulu. Monga ambiri aife, adazizwa ndi zomwe adawona komanso monga momwe amachitira akatswiri ambiri, adayamba kupanga zomwe zidawonetsa kufunikira kwake kwa chilungamo m'dziko lomwe likuwoneka kuti silimapereka chilichonse.

“Panali kusowa choyankha m’manyuzipepala ponena za mmene anthu ogonana amuna kapena akazi okhaokha amachitidwira,” iye anafotokoza motero. "Dziko lapansi likuchita chikondwerero cha Olimpiki ku Russia pomwe nkhani zidayamba kumveka za anthu aku Russia a LGBT omwe adagwidwa ndi nyama ndikunyozedwa pamavidiyo omwe adalowetsedwa pa intaneti. Anthuwa anali kuchotsedwa ntchito ndi kukanidwa ndi achibale awo ndipo mawailesi akuluakulu amaoneka kuti alibe nazo ntchito. ”

Anakhala pansi ndikuyamba kulemba ndipo posakhalitsa nkhani/script ya "PYOTR495" inamalizidwa.

Filimuyi ikukamba za mnyamata wina dzina lake Pyotr yemwe anavomera kukumana ndi mwamuna wina yemwe anakumana naye pa pulogalamu yolumikizirana. Ananyamuka usiku kwambiri kuti akakumane ndi mwamunayo m'nyumba mwake kuti agone usiku womwewo koma atafika anapeza kuti wagwera msampha woopsa.

Bamboyo ndi anzake amunyengerera dala Pyotr kuti akamuchititse manyazi. Amamugwira m'bafa ndikumeta mbali zina za mutu wake, ndikujambula zigawo zometedwa zabuluu. Amamuthira mkodzo kumaso, nthawi yonseyi akumakuwa kuti akungomuthandiza. Pyotr akulira kuti amuthandize ndipo akuwapempha kuti amusiye yekha, koma kulira kwake kumangolimbikitsa anthu omwe ankamuzunza.

Kenako Pyotr amasweka…ndikusintha kukhala chilombo champhamvu zosayerekezeka.

Kwa Mawson, zinali kubwereranso ku mizu yake yowopsa m'njira zambiri. Abambo ake anali okonda zilombo zapamwamba za Universal ndipo amakumbukira kuwonera mitu ngati Munthu Wammbulu ndi Frankenstein ndi Kukambitsanso Kwa Notre Dame mobwerezabwereza ngati mwana. Chifaniziro cha magulu achiwawa omwe akuthamangitsa “zilombo”cho chakhala chim’mamatira nthaŵi zonse ndipo chinafikira kutanthauza zambiri pamene anali kutuluka.

“[Zilombozi] nthaŵi zonse zimathamangitsidwa ndi anthu akumudzi ndi mafoloko ndi miuni,” anakumbukira motero Mawson. "Monga munthu wachiwerewere yemwe amabwera kudziko lapansi, mumamva choncho nthawi zina. Kwa mnyamata wachichepere wa ku Russia amene amagonana ndi amuna kapena akazi okhaokha m’malo amene amakana kukhalapo kwanu ndi kumadziikira mlandu panthaŵi imodzimodziyo ayenera kudzimva kukhala wotembereredwa.”

Mawson adapitilizabe kukulitsa lingaliro ili loti amuna kapena akazi okhaokha azitumizidwa kugahena mpaka lingaliro latsopano litapangidwa. Bwanji ngati kutuluka kunja kunali ngati kudutsa ku gehena? Bwanji ngati kudutsa ku gehena kunasintha inu, kukupatsani mphamvu zomwe simunakhale nazo zisanachitike. Ngati mumapondereza chinachake monga kugonana kwanu moyo wanu wonse, chimachitika ndi chiyani pamene kuponderezedwako kumasulidwa?

Mafunso onsewa ndi mayankho ake adalowa muzolemba za Mawson ndikuwonekera pazenera.

Mawson adapanga filimu yochititsa chidwi komanso yamphamvu. Misewu yosiyidwa ndi nyumba za Berlin zimatengera mawonekedwe a gawo losowa la Moscow pomwe adagwiritsa ntchito mkati mwa tchalitchi chakale ku Toronto kuti amange mkati mwa nyumba yomwe Pyotr amazunzidwa.

Katswiri wa filimuyi, Alex Ozerov (yemwe mungamuzindikire kuchokera ku maudindo obwerezabwereza pa "The Americans" ndi "Orphan Black") ndi mbadwa ya Russia yemwe adachoka ali ndi zaka 13 ndi makolo ake kusamukira ku Toronto. Ozerov amabweretsa kukongola ndi chidwi pa gawo la Pyotr asanasinthe. Amakokera omvera ndi kutidzaza ndi chifundo pamene akuwukiridwa, ndipo ndinadzipeza ndikumutsitsimutsa pamene matebulo akutembenuka ndi chilombo chonyansa mkati mwake chikutuluka.

"PYOTR495" pakali pano ikupanga kuzungulira kwa zikondwererozo ndipo idzawonetsedwa Anyamata pa Filimu 16: Kukhala yomwe idzatulutsidwe pa June 12, 2017. Padzakhala kuonetsedwa kwa filimuyi pa FilmOut San Diego LGBT Film Festival pa June 10, 2017.

Woyang'anira wachinyamatayo adati ali wokondwa kwambiri kuwona zikondwerero zamafilimu za LGBT zikuchulukirachulukira nthawi yamitundu yambiri.

"Pali ubale wanthawi yayitali pakati pa chipwirikiti ndi mantha komanso kuwunika kulikonse komwe ndidapitako ku zikondwerero za LGBT zomwe zidapanga chiwonetsero chowopsa zidatha kugulitsidwa, kotero zimalankhuladi kanthu!"
