The Life Of Gorislav Chuzhdozemniy

An experimental feature film, shot by a team of artists from Moscow and Saint Petersburg without any institutional or production support. Gloomy but not entirely devoid of comedy, it represents a rather amusing mixture of slapstick, early avantgarde, Švankmajer-esque animation and Leningrad Necrorealism. At the heart of it is the life story of a depersonalised hermit who has been thrown out of historical time and is stuck in a looped timelessness. This is the story of a solitary war, fought simultaneously in external and internal territories, while blurring the boundaries between them in the dreams and reveries of a madman.

Ibn Fadlan

«Ibn Fadlan» is a documentary feature film made by the Publishing House «Huzur» based on the «Travel Notes» of the Arab diplomat Ahmed ibn Fadlan. In 921, an embassy was sent from Baghdad to the land of Bulgar, the head of whose religious mission was Ibn Fadlan. He described his observations along the route, which ran through different countries, peoples and cultures. The path of the embassy, which lasted almost a year, was full of hardships, obstacles and dangers. It was with the arrival of the embassy in 922 that the adoption of Islam by Volga Bulgaria as the official religion was connected. In the documentary part of the film, experts will talk about the historical background of the formation of the religious and ethnic identity of Muslims in Russia. In artistic game episodes, an attempt is made to reconstruct the realities of 921-922, where the heroes are Ibn Fadlan, the ruler of the Bulgar Almush and their entourage.
