The Term. Beginning of a Big Story (2014)
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.

Undescribable Perfection
not as good as all the hype
if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.
The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.
