Sergey Dvortsevoy | Kazakhstan, Russia | 23, 55 min | Kazakh, Russian

Sergei Dvortsevoy's early observational documentaries hone in on people and communities on the margins of society, those excluded from the grander narratives of modernity and progress that populated the run up to the millennium during the final years of the 20th century. Capturing a time of transition in Russia and Kazakhstan in the wake of the fall of the Soviet Union with a slow and steady cinematic gaze that allows the action to unfold in real time, Dvortsevoy's films convey a feeling of communal frustration and alienation while also acting as records of ways of life that are on their way out. This screening will be preceded by a short introduction by filmmaker and curator Jack Guariento.
