DIRECTOR: Dmitrii Kalashnikov WEIRD ELEPHANT SERIES
A mosaic of asphalt adventures, landscape photography, and some of the craziest shit you’ve ever seen, Dmitrii Kalashnikov’s THE ROAD MOVIE is a stunning compilation of video footage shot exclusively via the deluge of dashboard cameras that populate Russian roads. The epitome of a you-have- to-see- it-to- believe-it documentary, THE ROAD MOVIE captures a wide range of spectacles through the windshield—including a comet crashing down to Earth, an epic forest fire, and no shortage of angry motorists taking road rage to wholly new and unexpected levels—all accompanied by bemused commentary from unseen and often stoic drivers and passengers.
Isaac Olson's short film Found Footage Frenzy will play before the feature.

Reviews
Somewhere between "Jackass" and "Faces of Death" lies the queasy allure of "The Road Movie." Dmitrii Kalashnikov's feature is a found-footage compilation of clips shot by Russian dashboard cameras, then posted online.Dennis Harvey, Variety
