Hello, Moscow!
Gunārs Binde / Latvia / 1966 / Czech Premiere / 10 min.
synopsis
Using dynamic editing of a collage of black and white photos and a multi-layered soundtrack, the first photographic film in the history of Latvian cinema offers a portrait of Moscow in the mid-1960s. Under the symbols of power, hanging threateningly over the streets of the city, everyday life flows by, carefree and triumphant.
biography
