The Red Scarf
2020 · 60 min · Documentary
The captivating story of a Russian Jewish filmmaker working during the height and collapse of the Soviet Union. In this autobiographical documentary, Peter Mostovoy takes us on his journey from impoverished childhood to award-winning filmmaker. Naively believing that his art could be free from demands of the regime, Mostovoy nevertheless became entangled in the absurdity of Soviet-era politics as an “untrustworthy” Jew. The Red Scarf is a smart blend of animation, archival footage—including clips of Mostovoy’s films—and a healthy dose of humour.
