The task of the second week was to film a movie that will indicate the stereotypes about countries. So, DIABS, the Korean team, was working on the film about Russia, while The Another Russia was creating a scenario to their short film about South Korea.
Approaches that teams chose were quite different. Korean team preferred to cover their identity by covering their faces with masks and playing frozen Russian beauties. A rather artistic approach could be sensed in the way locations for scenes were chosen, the dialogues were played and moustaches were travelling from the face of a Russian guy to one of the Russian beauties'. The final scene depicting national intolerance was like a fly in the ointment. However, it helped the Russian youth recognise problems affecting the international image of Russia today.
The Another Russia took another road: the guys created a Russo-stereotyped video about stereotypes about Korea. Well, you just need to check out the video to understand this description. They also showed that among people who might know nothing or just a few about Korea, there are some individuals who are really into Korean (usually pop) culture. Witty and not without an irony about Russia, the movie gives us a short description of common stereotypes.
Enjoy watching and follow the project:
