Moscow Postcards 1989

Directed by Hans Breder

In this video diary of Breder’s trip, the viewer is given an after-hours tour of the Soviet capital. The different segments include a daylight panorama of Red Square, a scene in which Breder is handed the phone by his Russian artist hosts, a walking tour precursor of My Body Sees You, an underground performance with gas flames in a glass column, the midnight changing of the guard at Red Square, and a hypnosis session with a psychic that ends with a close up of another Russian magician on television.
