Current History
Synopsis
Current History explores the present unique and transitional period of events in the lives of villagers of Beshencevo in central Russia.
Through re-enacting familiar and routine aspects of their lives, as well as vital and life changing dramas, both the Romani and Gadje population of the village will be given the power of the camera to explore a series of layered situations.
