Kvadrat explores the realities of techno DJing, using the example of the leading Russian DJ Andrey PUSHKAREV. Filmed as a hybrid between a road-movie and a music video, the film not only illustrates the festive atmosphere of techno night clubs, but also reveals the lesser known side of the DJ profession: weeks of track selection, lengthy travel and a difficult schedule. The film highlights the discrepancy between the stereotypical image of a musician and the sober reality, suggests to think a little deeper, to find out whether the artist is happy, to ponder, what is most important for him and his audience? Shot in Switzerland, France, Hungary, Romania and Russia, the film omits the typical documentary elements: no interviews, no explanatory voice-over, no facts, no figures. The visuals and the techno music replace them, leaving the detailed interpretation to the viewer.
