When we returned from a trip to Russia in 1990, armed with our super 8 cameras, yann beauvais and myself decided to share our images and make a 4-handed film. We agreed to mix what we had shot with other material that meant something to us in that context and edit the film together. For yann, the references for Russia were classics he had seen, such as Vertov and Eisenstein. Mine were the Cold War years and propaganda films I’d been exposed to on my annual trips to visit family in the USSR in the late 60’s, 70’s and 80’s. We also wanted a twin screen projection wherein all the footage would be mixed rather than have a "his" and "her" screen. This double imaged film is a collage of S8 and archival material and the sound track is made along similar lines. We used mainly Russian sounds : music of all kinds, some excerpts of Lenin’s speeches and some street recordings. Originally the film was projected on two 16mm projectors placed side by side. Both images have been now transferred and blown up to 35mm film with the 2 images side by side.
