Mad Mimes

Mad Mimes

"The film is a study of the mimetic practices in a fictitious self-marginalized commune located next to the Moscow Ring Road, a highway that marks the boundaries of the Russian capital."

An anthropological study of a cargo cult in a fictitious self-marginalized commune, which existed next to the Moscow Ring Road - a highway that marks the boundaries of the Russian capital - and survived mainly on roadside trash. Although the road provided for their basic needs, the existence of the commune was extremely precarious and highly dependent on the roadway's fluctuations. This dependency led them to develop a cargo cult of the road.
