A candid film about prostitutes premiered in Moscow on Monday at an all-night festival that brought together hundreds of official and underground directors, musicians, writers and designers. Director Sergei Baranov’s half-hour film, “How Do You Do?” was the highlight of the giant artists’ party thrown by the House of Actors, a club for theater professionals. The film included scenes of prostitutes and their foreign clients at Moscow’s National Hotel as well as interviews with call girls in a labor camp near Leningrad. Prostitution is punishable by fines in the Soviet Union but call girls who deal in hard currency with foreign visitors risk jail.
