Silently Like a Comet

director: Anna Kryvenko

original title: Potichu jako kometa

year: 2014

running time: 8 min.

synopsis

The revolution on Kiev’s Maidan as a close-up of the city without any broader perspective. Recycled amateur footage from the internet offers an ironic commentary on the spectacular narratives by which the media described events in Ukraine at the turn of the year. Randomly selected and shown out of context, the various sequences break down the events into individual, slow-motion fragments before reassembling them in an emotional collage of incomprehensible unrest and random moments on the street.
