Portrait of Boy with Dog (1993) [Short]

Russia/USA (MIFF1995,Documentary)

Gosha Prokoshenkov is a thirteen year old boy living in a boys home in Moscow. This beautifully constructed cinema verite work provides a portrait from the streets rooftops and parks of one child's Moscow of today. Abandoned by his par­ents, institutionalised in an uncaring system, Gosha speaks candidly of his contempt for authority, his malignant boredom and his dreams for a new life.
