Elevator Up, Elevator Down

A group of children find space to play between an unfinished apartment house and a brickyard, building their own world in the inexhaustible possibilities offered by their imagination. Their play, joy and laughter bother the construction site guard, and that means the end of the game.

Directed by Dušan Naumovski, Elevator Up, Elevator Down leans on a strong ensemble — Darko Damevski, Lile Georgieva — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 1967.
