Portrait of Boy with Dog (1993) [Short]
Directors: Robin Hessman, James Longley
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.
