Putin’s Kiss steals the show at Sundance

Putin's Kiss doc awarded at Sundance
A documentary by Danish director Lise Birk Pedersen entitled Putin’s Kiss has won the Documentary Cinematography Award at this year’s Sundance Film Festival.
The film tells the story of Masha Drokova, a member of the Russian youth movement Nashi, which supports Vladimir Putin.
Once a devoted pro-Putin activist, Masha is famed for getting to kiss her idol on the cheek.
But then things go awry. Gradually changing her beliefs, Masha becomes friends with several opposition journalists, including Oleg Kashin, who was severely beaten up in November 2010.
Narrated by reporters, including Kashin himself, the documentary shows Putin as an antihero.
The festival’s main prizes went to the documentary The House I Live In by Eugene Zaretski, and the feature drama Beasts of the Southern Wild by Benh Zeitlin.

Russia’s Silver Archer in AmericaFor the first time in its fifteen year history, the Russian Silver Archer Awards for public relations have taken place outside Russia. |
I live near where the Sundance film festival happens every year. We just had another one. I used to be a limousine driver for producers and some film talent. These are the liberal commie Jews that love to trash Putin for running all the oil-barron-profit-sucking-vampires out of the country. I think Putin probably saved Russia from economic ruin. I don't know if he is the greatest person, but I think he's done that much for Russia.
As a Rusophobe, I am pleased to see Putin in power for another 12 years...because the longer he rules, the more likely it is that the degradation of Russia will continue...in the form of declining military power, lack of scientific development, flight of human and investment capital, corruption of the bureaucracy. These are the fruits of state capitalism as practiced by Putin.
it is good to know that the imperialists and war lovers are anti putin!!!! Otherwise us normal, neutral, hard working, educated people who support putin would be put to shame!!!
Putin is a good-moraled (the kind of guy that hollywood calls hero), respectful
WORLD leader. he wouldnt do harm if he was the president of usa...really!!!
