The question concerning the borders of the territories of what was once the USSR has proved to be a potential time bomb. Extinction is an eclectic patchwork of materials (fiction and nonfiction) led by Kolya, who is of Moldovan nationality, but declares himself a national of Transnistria. Fragments draw the viewer to the collective imaginary of the Soviet Union. The film aims to make an abstract comment on Vladimir Putin’s latest political stands of “war without war, occupation without occupation.”


PT: A questão das fronteiras dos antigos territórios dos URSS provaram ser uma potencial bomba. Extinção é uma colagem de materiais (ficção e não ficção) conduzida por Kolya, de nacionalidade Moldáva, mas que se declara nativo da Transnistria. Fragmentos levam o espectador ao imaginário colectivo da União Soviética. O filme quer desenhar um comentário abstrato sobre a “guerra sem guerra, ocupação sem ocupação” das últimas posições de Putin.
