Director: Elena Beloff | Producer: Elena Beloff,Vincent D'Onofrio
Focus Years: 2010 | Country: United States
Synopsis:
The filmmaker Elena Beloff is a Russian woman who has lived in New York for ten years. Her film explores stereotypes of Russian women that emerged in the 1990s; unfortunate stereotypes that arose from the media and hearsay. Elena’s method was to follow five Russian women for six months, interviewing each one in her environment: a rapper in a Sheepsheadbay Church, a salesperson at La Perla Madison Avenue Boutique, a model at home, a showgirl at a Brighton Beach restaurant, and an exotic dancer at Scores Strip Club. This film develops on its own as the viewer sees the stereotypes dissolve and the flesh and blood women come to life. Suddenly, the viewer is confronted by these five women, whose experiences pose questions of spirituality and self-discovery as they come to vivid life on the New York scene.
