Exercise film The short film “Window”, of course, a find for discussion at a seminar of any creative university.
A number of events taking place in the tape can cause both tenderness and heated debates, and will give an occasion to talk about genres and meanings.
I think in the film you can find several interpretations, and even quite mutually exclusive.
On the one hand, we have a highly nostalgic excursion into the life of the Soviet-pajama inhabitants, where the romantic attitude to milk in glass and a mechanical alarm clock is unwittingly proposed as a model of utopian happiness.
On the other hand, the cloak and hat of the hero, his night penetration into the apartment and, of course, the appearance of the main actor himself, are related to the situation with the epic adventures of gangsters, whose habits and image, broadcast through the screen, symbolize the recipe for protest against milky-sovik dullness.
Even the final exit through the window can be perceived as liberation, as well as the collapse of the protagonist.
But for all the associations that this work can cause, the most gratifying thing is that it is difficult to reproach it for pretentiousness, and the authors of the picture for self-admiration. Therefore, if we go back to the comparison with creative universities, before us the film is not masters, nor professionals, not geniuses, but very pleasant young people who have some perspective ahead, and the perspective in creativity is always better than the result.
