Following the demolition of the Berlin Wall, Chantal Akerman captured the reality and mutation of former Soviet territories, shot from summer through to winter in a series of travelling shots and static camera.From East Germany to Moscow. Passing through Poland, Lithuania and the Ukraine. Akerman recorded the bodies and faces of the anonymous masses, their expressions unreadable, either walking or simply waiting for who knows what.
As a whole, D'Est offers a mass of visual and aural impressions that create a bewitching, impressionistic poem.
With an introduction from University of Bristol postgraduate student Thomas Lobban.
