Russian Sound, 2011 from chto delat on Vimeo.
british sounds by J-L-Godard from chto delat on Vimeo.
This film was inspired by the editing, audio and narrative techniques used by Jean-Luc Godard in his film British Sounds (1969). (It can be viewed here: vimeo.com/8118700.)
Our film is an attempt to find out whether the spirit (if not the letter) of Godard's experiments could be transferred to the suffocating reality of Russia on the eve of the 2011-2012 parliamentary and presidential elections. The film consists of a series of novellas that reflect on various aspects of politics and the life of society in today's Russia.
Godard's film was released during a boisterous, revolutionary period in British politics and society. It has been as a manifesto for a new agitational cinema that would be capable of describing the totality of social transformations in their dialectical emergence. Are we capable, at the height of political and social reaction, of critically sharing Godard's vision and aesthetics?
