The Red Scarf
Красный шарф
Synopsis
The captivating story of a Russian Jewish filmmaker working during the height and collapse of the Soviet Union.

Naively believing that his art could be free from demands of the regime, Mostovoy nevertheless became entangled in the absurdity of Soviet-era politics as an “untrustworthy” Jew. The Red Scarf is a smart blend of animation, archival footage—including clips of Mostovoy’s films—and a healthy dose of humour.
