Some scenes from documentary ‘D’Est’ were screened during the lecture this week, and of all the extracts it was the one that intrigued me the most. The major reason for that is its simplicity – it appeared to be a slowly tracking one shot, showing people in Eastern Europe around the collapse of the Soviet Union. It’s historically fascinating, and I’m always someone who loves to see candid snapshots of humanity, especially humanity with a different social or political context. The premise is genius, and it’s amazingly not boring. I’m eager to watch more, as well as explore other simplistic but uncommon premises.
