Pal/Secam (Dmitry Povolotsky, Russia, 2008, 15min)
Set in Moscow in 1985, Pal/Secam is an uproariously funny short following a boy in his mid teens on a quest to lose his virginity with the help of his prize possession- a VCR that everyone wants to watch. What starts as a simple attempt to lure a girl upstairs to his mothers’ tiny apartment to watch disco dance movies and drink champagne (which he has no idea about and thusly ends up with some other sort of unknown liquor)…
