Russian Parallel Cinema Part 3 of 3

This is the 3rd and last part of an interesting documentary made by VBS.tv.

For 60 years, Russian film was dominated by the state-approved imagery of Socialist Realism: stark scenes of the proletariat; working, farming and soldiering. Making movies outside this milieu meant risking life and limb at the hands of the KGB. When the Soviet Union collapsed, and that threat diminished, Russian filmmakers released six decades of pent-up creative energy. The films that emerged were an insane mish mash of booze, violence, surrealism, and insanity. Thus Parallel Cinema was born.

Russian Parallel Cinema Part 1 of 3

For 60 years, Russian film was dominated by the state-approved imagery of Socialist Realism: stark scenes of the proletariat; working, farming and soldiering. Making movies outside this milieu meant risking life and limb at the hands of the KGB. When the Soviet Union collapsed, and that threat diminished, Russian filmmakers released six decades of pent-up creative energy. The films that emerged were an insane mish-mash of booze, violence, surrealism, and insanity. Thus Parallel Cinema was born.



To learn more about this bizarre and wonderful school of film-making, Vice’s Shane Smith travels to Moscow to interview the motley cast of characters that founded Russian Parallel Cinema. We meet Gleb and Igor Aleinikov, two of Parallel Cinema’s most prolific creators; Oleg Kulik, who spent a year as a dog; Andre Silvestrov and Pavel Liabazov, founders of Alcho-Cinema; and notorious “Necro-Realist” Yevgeni Yufit.

Learn about this truly unique filmic tradition that, given Russian’s present volatility, may not exist for much longer.

Vegan Video by Dan Piraro

Very cool video with a cartoon explanation to vegetarianism. Dan Piraro masterfully made this nice video. It's a talking pig that explains why eating meat is bad for you.

Daniel Charles Piraro is a surrealist painter, illustrator and cartoonist best-known for his award-winning syndicated cartoon panel Bizarro.



In 2002, Piraro became a vegan. His activism is visible in Bizarro, often incorporating vegan and animal cruelty themes into his cartoons. Piraro has also incorporated an entire section devoted to veganism on his website, detailing his reasons for becoming a vegan and other vegan-related information.
