So, ‘Leningrad’ is this fascinating documentary that feels like a time capsule. It started way back in ’98 as an experimental endeavor with Ksenia Burdinova at the helm. The film’s been sitting around for years, originally shot on ‘Mikrat’ film, which gives it this really distinct grainy texture that feels both nostalgic and otherworldly. The way they blend found photographs with personal narratives creates this haunting atmosphere, often making you reflect on memory and loss. The pacing is contemplative, allowing you to really soak in each image and story. What’s cool is how it’s been reimagined after all these years, with new voices and perspectives added, breathing fresh life into the original footage. It’s definitely a unique piece in the documentary landscape.
