„Where the Condors Fly“ - A Cinematographic Journey with Victor Kossakovsky
“Where the Condors Fly” is a personal, critical and deeply humorous reflection about filmmaking and its possibilities and limitations. Like a matrouchka doll, it tells the story of a filmmaker making a film about another filmmaker who is himself making a film.

***"Whatever side the audience might take, they will witness a film that captures a passionate artist and his deliberate creative process."***
(whatnottodoc.com, IDFA Review 11/2012)
*** "Where the Condors Fly not only delivers insight in acclaimed Russian filmmaker Victor Kossakovsky's soul, it also shows how he rebuilds the world for the film." ***
(Yearbook CINEMA, Selection Cinema 08/2012, Switzerland)
*** "Another film relates the exhausting, partly megalomanic production of this work ("Long live the Antipodes", editor's note), "Where the Condors Fly" by Carlos Klein, who helped and accompanied Victor Kossakovsky along his project. That is sometimes much more exciting than the high work itself." ***
(Professional Production JUNE/JULY 2012)
*** “This narration is exciting and instructive. Its results are almost more enjoyable than Kossakovsky's film “Long live the Antipodes” that is after all a filmic poem at a very high level.” ***
(Kameramann, Germany 06/2012)
*** Thanks to Klein for giving us all this and thanks also for giving us a film that is a must for all professionals and film students, who want to see how passion and commitment look like." ***
