After the stress of Moscow, the journey on train gives the opportunity for each group to discuss on the concept of their documentaries. It appears that the young European film-makers went for very diverse topics. Some are predominantly sociological ones. By tackling the themes of music and food, two groups are interested in discovering the social customs of Russians. Three groups share what could be labelled as a 'testimony approach'. Whether it consists in portraying children, collecting dreams or conveying the feelings of the Trans-siberian travel, they somehow put themselves in the inheritance of Medvedkin, which consists in giving the word to the people who usually don't have access to it. One film intends to be a mockumentary about Lenin, more details will come soon!
