- Yug Kipen is a reserved, modest boy raised by his grandmother. Yug's mother died when he was three years old, and he never saw his father. Everything changes when, on his 14th birthday, Yug discovers money sent by his father in his grandmother's closet. From this moment begins the story of the great journey of Yug in search of his father. Potential fathers are scattered all over Russia. Yug has to cross the whole country to meet everyone. He will visit the most beautiful corners of our country, and of course, he will see the main attraction of Russia - people. It's not easy for a 14-year-old teenager to go this way, in principle, and even more difficult for Yug, because he is the owner of a bunch of phobias that he will have to overcome every time.

- Fifteen years from its inception, YouTube retains the power to shock and disorient - particularly when wielded by children who have lived their whole lives in its era. A found-footage documentary composed entirely of social media videos by teenagers weathering hostile education and a climate of terror in contemporary Russia, "Manifesto" contains one vignette after another to make viewers wince with discomfort and even outright horror. One's first impulse might be to ask whether any documentary should show such material at all - yet of course, it has been freely available for public viewing all along. As such, "Manifesto" invites uneasy consideration of the differing responsibilities of creating, consuming and externally curating candid video, and provides no guidance. In selecting and assembling several years' worth of amateur video into a constructed, collective life-in-a-day feature, the presumably pseudonymous filmmaker Angie Vinchito takes considerable risks of decontextualization. There's no narration to bind or editorialize these disparate but symphonically despairing mini-narratives of physical abuse and psychological oppression, and "Manifesto" counts on viewers' knowledge of recent Russian politics and social norms to determine which videos present uncompromised reality, which may be documenting pranks or performance, and which have been alarmingly coerced.

- In post-Soviet Russia, troubled underage boys caught at various offenses (from stealing to multiple murder) are committed for a few years to closed state reform schools. There, they live in a military type of regime, starting the day with open air exercises, making beds to absurdly meticulous rules etcetera. Ironically, many come from such poor and/or abusive, often broken families that a structured life with three square meals, a warm dorm and regular classes feels like a better deal, some actually dread returning home.
