Dmitrii Kiselev, Aleksandr Baranov, Aleksandr Kott shows not only Russia in all its magnitude, but also its neighboring countries—Kazakhstan in particular. The voiceover (Kostantin Khabenskii) mentions that wherever we are—in St. Petersburg or Astana—on New Year’s Eve “we are all one” as we decorate our trees and chop salads. Thus, the line of alleged cosmopolitanism is defined from the very beginning and sets the tone for the rest of the film. This theme is further developed in one of the subplots of the film—in a romantic love story of a Russian girl, Alena (Alena Konstantinova), the daughter of a harsh policeman Vetrov (Sergei Bezrukov), and Aslan (Iznaur Ortsuev), an Asian Elki 2 guy from Chechnia (novella “Romeo” by Aleksandr Kott).

Elki 2 also repeats the tradition within Russian society. Ironically enough, it is of beginning the film with a visual presentation of this character who explains the unity of the a map of Russia and an emphasis on how huge country and people to Pasha (Nikita and powerful the country is. In the earlier film, Presniakov) using a visual image of a Christmas however, the focus was on the unity of the country tree. as a whole, despite its numerous time zones, due In the novella, in which Boria (Ivan to the celebration of two major holidays: a Urgant) is trying to reunite with his ex-girlfriend, successful win by a Russian football team and the Olia (Elena Plaksina), in spite of his amnesia New Year.

The tradition of consistent with the hegemonic line established in decorating a fir tree on winter holidays is not the earlier film. Elki 2 begins with the statement solely Russian, though. The French have trees for that all people are brothers and sisters, as the map Christmas and the New Year, which is why Francois’s allergy to trees is an explicit politician, who turns out to be surprisingly exaggeration.

Primeiramente, busco compreender o screenlife como uma poética resultante do encontro das práticas transculturais do software com as convenções audiovisuais de mise-en-scène, decupagem e narrativa. Em segundo lugar, analiso o caso de Amizade Desfeita, na descrição de como os diferentes programas de computador foram audiovisualizados e na discussão das funções específicas que eles cumprem no filme. Palavras-chave: Audiovisualização do software. Screenlife. Amizade Desfeita. Abstract: Investigate the screenlife format based on the problem of software audiovisualization, a trend programmed by a metalinguistic game between audiovisual and software and the central roles that both play in contemporary culture. First, I try to comprehend screenlife as a poetic resulting from the encounter of the cross-cultural practices of the software with the audiovisual conventions of mise-en- scène, decoupage and narrative. Secondly, I analyze the case of Unfriended, describing how the different software were audiovisualized and discussing the specific functions they fulfill in the film.
