- Fifteen years from its inception, YouTube retains the power to shock and disorient - particularly when wielded by children who have lived their whole lives in its era. A found-footage documentary composed entirely of social media videos by teenagers weathering hostile education and a climate of terror in contemporary Russia, "Manifesto" contains one vignette after another to make viewers wince with discomfort and even outright horror. One's first impulse might be to ask whether any documentary should show such material at all - yet of course, it has been freely available for public viewing all along. As such, "Manifesto" invites uneasy consideration of the differing responsibilities of creating, consuming and externally curating candid video, and provides no guidance. In selecting and assembling several years' worth of amateur video into a constructed, collective life-in-a-day feature, the presumably pseudonymous filmmaker Angie Vinchito takes considerable risks of decontextualization. There's no narration to bind or editorialize these disparate but symphonically despairing mini-narratives of physical abuse and psychological oppression, and "Manifesto" counts on viewers' knowledge of recent Russian politics and social norms to determine which videos present uncompromised reality, which may be documenting pranks or performance, and which have been alarmingly coerced.

- Lera broke up with Kolyan due to the fact that their relationship was not developing, and Vovan gave the Jackal a stalactite brought from the Kungur ice cave. But he is not happy with the gift. The jackal throws out an icicle, which begins to melt and spread the ancient Komi-Permyak virus, gradually turning the inhabitants into zombies.

- 3 former prisoners speak of their time in Perm-36 gulag, now a museum. "Pilorama" reflects Russian society haunted by post-Soviet phantom pains. Red-brown activists denounce the existence of Perm-36, attracting support. Dark clouds gather.
- The cynical Permian official Viktor Letaev oversees road construction and is used to always getting his way. He knows and loves his job, but is not interested in anything else. His credo: "I chopped firewood, I had no time for these Chekhovs and Pasternaks of yours, because everyone needs firewood, and you can't warm a house with art." But the cynical worldview changes when culture and art become a new vector for the development of the region. Now, in order to sit in the chair of an official, he will have to study the cultural heritage of the Perm Territory. To help himself, he takes lessons from art history teacher Marina Nikolaevna. Will she be able to ennoble an uncultured official?
