15 Young by Young

About This Movie

15 Young by Young is a fascinating docu-project that dives into the vibrant lives of youth across the post-Soviet landscape. With contributions from 15 young filmmakers, each hailing from one of the former Soviet republics, it's like a patchwork quilt of stories—each piece distinct yet interconnected. The animated segments add a playful, almost dreamlike quality that contrasts nicely with the raw, candid interviews of the young subjects. You get this real sense of immediacy and authenticity, the pacing flows in a way that feels both reflective and energetic. The themes of identity and resilience shine through, and the practical effects in the animations are charmingly imperfect, which oddly enhances the overall vibe. It’s an eclectic mix that really captures the spirit of a generation searching for their voice.
