Inspired by Wim Winders “ Lisbon Story,” Maxim Mussel’s five-minute documentary captures many of Lisbon’s elements including food, music, the people, and a romantic trolley. The very important part of Lisbon atmosphere is a street sounds, wind whispering and peoples talking and Iphone reflects all the sounds perfectly. This wordless piece, filled with powerful close-ups, was shot using an iPhone 4S. It won Third Place at the 2014 Mobil Film Festival. Mussel, who is a Moscow native, has directed several documentaries and feature films. He’s been shooting mobile video for three years.
This film reads like a silent love song to a voyage in an old charming city.
