Awards : Prix de la FIPRESCI au Festival du film documentaire de Oberhausen, 2008
Plot synopsis
Shot immediately before, during, and after the 2006 G8 Summit in the Constantine Palace, outside of St. Petersburg, Pavel Medvedev's documentary is a multilayered portrait of a country where the gulf between the haves and have-nots has been exacerbated by capitalism, where an international summit is one large photo opportunity. Medvedev manages to express a great deal about Russian society... with carefully chosen and edited images, leaving the viewer wanting more.
