Don’t Shoot the Cameraman! (16+)

Russia, 2015, colour, 39 min.
Director: Valery Timoshenko
This is a film endeavouring to understand the experience of filming, life and survival of the front-line cameramen working in numerous – seemingly local – and thus more unpredictable, merciless and violent wars of the last two decades within CIS borders. When a cameraman becomes himself an element of fight, having part in the war and entering the hate zone, where himself as well as his footage even after his death, can be used as a small change in the military confrontation and in the cynical political foul play.
