Ascension

Definitively proving that all the "B" Science Fiction of the 1950s and 1960s do not hold a candle to the 'real thing,' Pavel Medvedev's surreal 45 minute documentary Ascension is certainly one to look for. Composed entirely out of archival footage, much of it from the Soviet science and space archives, delicately scored and building to an undeniable mood of surreal (perhaps even ominous) energy, it charts (and re-purposed) the progress of man into to the unknown area of space exploration with a flair for creating art out film that was shot by scientists and engineers as a mundane record.

Sunset of the Constructor Barkhatov

A video comic based on a montage of old footage from a Ural factory using computer graphics and flash animation. If the first part is a bit reminiscent of crazy Soviet documentary propaganda, the second part takes us to an alternative reality, populated by revived phantoms of the magazine "Krokodil": freeloaders, alcoholics, abstract artists and other nonconformists. The main character, Barkhatov, is a superman on a mission to fight the enemies of the working class.

New Year's Story

A secret unit to combat aliens has been operating since the Second World War, as we learn from newsreels. The action is transferred to New Year's Eve, 1998, to the Gorky Film Studio, where the New Year's program is being filmed. Among the filmmakers, in addition to the mummers, there was also one real Santa Claus, who has been fulfilling one wish once a year for 2 million years. Three guards, a girl from a variety show, a revived dummy and a mischievous boy fought off the international anti-alien forces and tried to come up with this one desire, but they could not. And when Santa Claus disappeared (his time was up) everyone found a gift in the bag that perfectly matched their wishes.

Earthly Side of the Moon

The film tells an amazing, full of adventure, story, which is stylized as a fantastic story written in the 19th century. So, for example, here a giant wave is quite capable of throwing a person from Earth to the Moon. And lunatics can live on the moon. And these lunatics, it turns out, are also preoccupied with the completely earthly problem of "fathers and children." Relying on adventure fiction as a plot-forming form, the filmmakers talk with the viewer about the problem of intergenerational relationships, try to discern the future generation of humanity and find an eternal link between generations that makes progress in terms of continuity possible. This binder is, of course, love ...
