Russian Lessons

Andrej Nekrasov and Olga Konskaya
Russia, Norway
2009 | 35 mm* | 01:40:00

The two directors Andrei Nekrasov and Olga Konskaya have filmed the war between Russia and Georgia in 2008. By comparing their own images with those distributed by Russian authorities they have remarked, that the occidental medias have distributed largely the official version without any verification, which has been far away from what they saw and heard.

March 29th - April 11th 2010

An international jury overview the sections of short films coming from all over the world. We prefer documentaries which succeed in representing the complexity of reality and discover in a new way its sensible and perturbing aspects on the same time accentuating the ambivalent and enigmatic status of reality in avoiding sterotypes and simplifing conclusions.
