Guerrilla Filmmaker

Alexei films with a smartphone. His lens captures not polished facades, but cracks in the pavement and faces in the metro crowd. He calls himself a cinema guerrilla — one who films without permits, budgets, or approval. This 2026 documentary explores the global phenomenon of underground filmmaking. From Berlin squats to Tokyo underpasses, the director follows creators for whom the city is both studio and raw material. Their weapons are mobile phones and social networks, their manifesto is immediacy and truth. The film confronts the viewer with a radical aesthetic where every frame is an act of defiance against media giants.
