Description
Synopsis:
This experimental work, created by a collective of 10 filmmakers, combines footage from the participants’ family video archives and a sonic journey through the streets of Moscow in August 1991. The events that brought about the end of the Soviet era mark the starting point for the unstable reality of the next decade, which the people of the new Russia documented with their home videocameras.
