TITLE DETAILS

The Waiting Room

· 12 min · Not rated

In this speculative documentary, present-day Nation borders have collapsed into vast privatized housing complexes. Epitomizing advanced capitalism’s financialization and incarceration, the citizens of “Condo World” live in a so-called dream where it’s illegal and punishable to leave. The “real” outside is uninhabitable — likely due to ecological devastation — and curiously, unseeable.

The Term. Beginning of a Big Story2014

The documentary project The Term was conceived in May 2012. When the directing trio commenced mapping the Russian sociopolitical landscape, Vladimir Putin had just settled into the Kremlin for his third term. The original experimental format of “documentary bulletins,” which were published daily online, allowed for wide-ranging content; in the feature film version, however, the filmmakers focused solely on the members of various opposition groups. Nevertheless, the work’s neutral position remains and viewers have to interpret the objectively presented situations for themselves. The main characteristics of this strongly authentic movie include close contact with the protagonists, precise editing, and an effectively controlled release of information.
