from "Guest-Worker project"
__________________________________
this project is about painful matter of eastern expansion in Europe.
it is dedicated to millions of immigrants from the countries of asia, the people who are moving for a better life to a new territory. those who are used to wearing hijabs and observe namaz from the very early childhood. this project is about cross-cultural communication, different people living under the same sun, it is about a very complicated process of transfusion of various traditions, human types and cultures.
some centuries ago my ancestors came to europe from palestine just the same way. they were not welcome, they were rejected, suffered from bashing, synagogues were prohibited. and finally, a significant part of our nation was killed in gas chambers of concentration camps.
that is why i do not have a pre-judging view at new immigrants.
for the role of new-comers and migrant workers i chose the representatives of moscow bohemia - film critics, artists, musicians - descendants of those representatives of other nations and cultures who once came to russia.
fastfood decorations and accessories are not more than a frame, a context pointing to the time and place.
my rules of the game are set now, so it's up to the viewer to make his of her own conclusions.
