Clownery (, translit. Klounada) is a black-and-white and colour 1989 Soviet independent film directed by Dmitrii Frolov. It is based on Daniil Kharms novel Situations.

==Plot== Various works of Daniil Kharms are connected by means of a character dressed in a sailor's pea coat, which roams from the "case" to the "occasion", getting into various stories and leaving unscathed from the most incredible situations. The character is a nice embodiment of the revolutionary sailor in reserve, what was filled with Russian society in the early 30-ies. He is quite a good-natured "lumpen", not devoid of features of his class: impudence, self-will and unceremoniousness. In the film the works of Harms are screened: "Noise", "Victory of Myshin", "Grigoriev and Semyonov", etc.
