No Place for Fools

No Place for Fools is about a lonely Russian homosexual, a real person, who is also an anti-gay Orthodox Christian pro-Putin activist. These two identities that thoroughly contradict each other, unfold in his video blog in a chaotic schizophrenic mixture of images and sounds. A closer look reveals that his monologues about food, love and patriotism are framed by the current socio-political environment of capitalist Russia. The chaos of these countless video-confessions, in reality often too long and inarticulate, has been directed and cut together in a clear structure by author Oleg Mavromatti.

Mavromatti also researched and collected enormous amounts of YouTube videos (from which the film is entirely made of) to set the context in which his character can blossom and decay. Because of this director*s cut, this real YouTube persona, largely ridiculed by society (including the virtual one) obtains a voice, denied to him by everyone else. That way Mavromatti makes a personal, but political statement.
