The Road Movie
Anything can happen on Russian roads – proof of this lies in videos precisely shot by dashboard cameras. Super-objective video registration grows into the strong image of Russian national character – with its permanent awaiting for a miracle and habitual approach to real drama.
A forest on fire as a symbol of Russian hell, a military tank at a car wash and car chase in the vicinity of Kremlin shot with a dashboard camera at the same time when Boris Nemtsov, the leader of political opposition, was shot dead near Kremlin. Dashboard cameras depict life in its purity as an unbiased observer.
