When we returned from a trip to Russia in 1990, armed with our Super8
cameras, Yann Beauvais and myself decided to share our images and make a
four-handed film. The result is a twin screen projection using our Super8
footage mixed in with archival material from the 60s and 80s and also a
sprinkling of Russian classic such as Vertov and Einstein. The soundtrack is
composed of various elements: street recordings, Russian music of all kinds, and
excerpts of Lenin speeches.
