<89mm from Europe> is a black-and-white short documentary set against the backdrop of a railway station in Brzesc, Belarus. Workers, looking pretty worn out, are taking a break. A honking train to Moscow comes into the station and they gather around the train getting back to work. Situated at the Polish-Belarussian border, the Brzesc train station is where European trains running on a 1,435mm track replace its wheels to fit into the 1,524mm track of the former USSR. With the greatest care, the camera captures the wheel-changing workers and passengers who watch them working or spend their short stopovers on the platform. In such a short time, the documentary juxtaposes exhausted workers with curious passengers and displays 89mm difference in track gauge between Russian and European railroads. <89mm from Europe> reveals difference between labor and leisure, and that between former Soviet Union and Europe. Marcel Łoziński vividly captures the people making use of an extended symbolic images and deliberate contrast. (HWANG Hei-Rim)
