An Uncountable Number of Threads Trailers

Travel films have an established format with their own conventions, history and baggage. It is a medium that has all too often sought to control, define and dictate perceptions of ”other” places. Comprised of footage shot while travelling on group excursions across Russia in 2019, An Uncountable Number of Threads is an attempt to draw out the ethical restrictions of a travelogue, while questioning how (and why) to make one. At times there is an awkward tourist-gaze, aware of its outsider position. But as a self-reflexive work that considers its own creation, it ultimately unravels, as the artist rationalises themselves out of a particular way of working, inviting the viewer into their uncertainty.

It is not deep, but it is fun to watch. It does have a bit more of an edge to it than other similar films.

It's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.

There is definitely an excellent idea hidden in the background of the film. Unfortunately, it's difficult to find it.
