“Last Date” By Stereopolina

Synopsis

This is a mystical story about following, jealousy and its strange consequences.

Directors statement

My name is Arseny Kuznetsov, I'm a Director from Russia, Kazan.

Stereopolina is my university friend - Karina Morgunova. I wanted to shoot a video for her because I really love her music.
It took me a long time to implement this project, and last fall I managed to do it. We collected all the saved money and the praise of our film industry friends to help us. This project was filmed with great enthusiasm and love, and I hope the viewers will appreciate it.

Stereopolina's music takes you into the past, while being a modern expression. I wanted to recreate some kind of a parallel world inspired by the aesthetics of the Soviet Union in the late 80s. A kind of timeless space in which anything can happen. The theme of anxiety and persecution immediately surfaced in my head when I heard this composition, and I decided to tell a story about a girl in love who stalks a guy, but cannot reach him. At least until the circumstances develop in a very strange way.
