About

In a terrifying future controlled by Big Brother, a mathematician falls in love and discovers a secret resistance. He has to make a choice between love and betrayal.

From visionary director Diana Ringo comes '1984', a bold adaptation of George Orwell's timeless dystopian novel. Released in 2023, the film plunges viewers into a world where totalitarian control crushes individuality, and the fight for freedom is both harrowing and emotionally devastating.

Set in a chilling future where Big Brother monitors every action, '1984' follows D503, a gifted mathematician trapped in a society devoid of freedom, creativity, and love. Under the oppressive regime of the United State, every aspect of life is controlled, and those who challenge the system face dire consequences. D503’s life takes a dramatic turn when he falls in love with a colleague, I330, and uncovers a hidden resistance movement. Caught between his duty to the state and his yearning for personal freedom, D503 faces a monumental decision that will forever alter his destiny.

Diana Ringo is an accomplished director, pianist, and composer, known for her unique and daring approach to filmmaking. Born in Finland on March 8, 1992, Ringo developed a passion for music early on, studying under esteemed pianists.

Diana Ringo's '1984' is more than just a film; it’s an immersive experience that breathes new life into Orwell’s classic tale. In addition to compelling performances by Aleksandr Obmanov, Aleksey Sharanin, and Vladimir Ivaniy, Ringo’s adaptation stands out by blending elements from both Orwell's '1984' and Yevgeny Zamyatin's 'We,' the novel that inspired Orwell. This unique fusion not only honors Zamyatin’s vision of a dehumanized society but also deepens the narrative, combining the stark reality of a dystopian future with surreal, dream-like sequences that mirror the protagonist’s inner conflict.
