LAIKA. THE LAST FLIGHT
Лайка. Последний полёт

by Masha GODOVANNAYA
2017 / Video / color-b&w / sound / 1 screen / 4' 25

Laika was the first dog which was successfully sent to the Earth’s orbit by Russians. One of the many Soviet space-dogs, the first cosmonauts, who paid with their lives for men’s conquering the Space. This film is a letter from the dead dog. Her haunted spirit re-tells the story of her heroic deeds and martyrdom. It's a document of a life, one of many lives that have been considered “disposable” and “killable” by the well-known human strategies of conquest and domination.
