Manifesto (2022)

A found-footage collage culled from Russian teens' social media feeds—bright, mundane morning routines on TikTok or YouTube suddenly cut to frantic footage of students scrambling from school shooters. Across the country, kids secretly film teachers who slap, shove, or call them idiots. In class, girls are lectured that they must sleep with their husbands on demand. One outspoken teen is warned that her political opinions will be reported. The everyday and the horrifying blur together into a chilling portrait.
