Tokyo Panorama Hunting

1985 • 12 min

The content is a development of sorts of 「時∞」. Several scenes that were supposed to be inserted into the section where the white leader appears were omitted (they were never filmed), which resulted in an abrupt and nonsensical progression afterwards. Since this work was not originally intended to be shown to others, I suppose it's fine as it is... It's too late to do anything about it now. The film originally had a recording of a certain famous piece of classical music, but the YouTube version was re-edited with different music and sound effects as a copyright measure.

U.s.s.a.

1985 • 11 min • France

USA + USSR = USSA. My film is about blurred boundaries, probably due to my own personal history. I was born in New York, to Russian and Czech parents, raised in Brazil and educated in France. As a result, the film is a cultural cocktail shot on super 8 in New York, Berlin, Milan and Paris.

Yaroslavl Portrait

1985 • 10 min • Soviet Union

The film was shot in the year of the 975th anniversary of Yaroslavl. The painting is based on portraits of Yaroslavl residents from the distant past and Yaroslavl residents of the late twentieth century: workers, restorers, engineers, artists. The frame contains many recognizable places of the city, as well as courtyards, factories, and cultural institutions. This 10-minute film perfectly conveys the atmosphere of life in Yaroslavl in the mid-1980s.
