Exit Clause to Yugoslavia

synopsis

A performative miniature in which the filmmakers – students of the Polytechnic Institute in Kharkov – document their public street performances. Their unselfconscious playfulness seems an unwitting omen of the fall of the Communist regime.

biography

The proliferation of home video in the 1980s led to the creation of the Ukrainian group Paranoia Pictures, a studio of amateur filmmakers including Oleh Kachmar and Andrii Tuziak. Most Paranoia Pictures’ productions were comedies, usually based on totalitarian situations, e.g. The Art Committee, or parodies of contemporary box-office hits.
