The third part of the CINEMA TRIP trilogy, this film unfolds in the genre of “an-doc” — an analytic, anti-, and art-documentary hybrid. What begins as a chronicle of a visit to St. Petersburg turns into an immersion in the world of local street artists. Director Vladimir Stekachyov remains behind the camera, yet his presence is felt through fragments of conversations, phone calls, and fleeting encounters at parties and on the streets. The interplay between lived reality and observation creates an intimate, vibrant portrait of everyday life inseparable from art. Through the author’s off-screen reflections, graffiti emerges not only as an urban phenomenon but as a form of philosophical expression. The film blends elements of fiction, mockumentary, and documentary, shaped through an open-ended process of video collage — a method that leaves space for spontaneous and unpredictable artistic choices until the very final edit.

DEMO016 is a project dedicated to the work of street artists.

An essay about a guy Andrei, aka Vosman, Vosmorych, who lives on the eighth floor of a panel house in a residential area of Moscow. The film is an attempt to portray the complexity of socialization, purposelessness of existence and grassroots urban culture.

A year ago a place known among Muscovites called Pravda (formerly the largest publishing house of the USSR of the same name was located in this complex) promised to become a center of urban culture. The residents of this space will tell what the truth is for them now.

Each historical period is accompanied by the emergence of some kind of cultural heritage in architecture, music and visual arts. The most numerous series of panel houses P-44 is a legacy of late Soviet postmodernism.
