The Road Movie

Dmitrii Kalashnikov / Belarus, Russia, Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia / 2016 / Czech Premiere / 67 min.


synopsis

Videos from Russian roads have become an internet phenomenon. Dash cams record their surroundings without any embellishment. Out of fifty such videos, Dima Kalashnikov has made something much more than just another YouTube compilation. Thanks to music and sophisticated editing, he successfully created a multi-layered portrait of contemporary Russia.

“There is as much humor as tragedy witnessed here. The film really depicts the essence of Russian life and the Russian attitude to life. It is a very Russian film.” D. Kalashnikov
