The Offshore Reserves
The brothers Aleinikov lay out turgid governmental speeches about "the rearing of a new man" under footage of dudes goofing around in space-alien costumes. They roll footage of apple-cheeked future Stakhanovites upside down and backwards. They crudely animate - in a certain South Parkian way - CCCP (USSR) icons in a goofy manner.
Revolutionary Sketches
A man looks for his friend, but finds himself instead...
Somebody Was Here...
Under a score of abbreviated drones and freeform woodwinds, the Aleinikov brothers cut together a series of images, found and made, that look unfailingly bleak, industrial or both bleak and industrial: disused factories, clunky utilitarian machinery, strings of unsettlingly young violinists, old-timey group portraits with everyone's eyes scratched out. Interspersed are less overtly sinister but somehow eerier snatches of action, like a circling brood of crude stop-motion mice or a bunch of little wooden people chopping wood and sawing logs, all differently affected by the vagaries time and the physical world foist onto film stock.
