Gogol Online: Akhmatova. A Poem Without a Hero

From Alla Demidova's book "Akhmatova Mirrors": "When I began to decipher the "Poem without a hero", the more I found doubles in it, which, in turn, bifurcated and so on — to infinity (the same thing happens if you approach the wall of the mirror hall with a mirror and see in it an infinite a series of reflections), the more clearly I understood that it was probably not necessary to literally decipher it. Specific persons are not so important in the "Poem", the fragrance of time is important, because, among other things, a huge layer of culture of an entire epoch has entered into the "Poem", which for many young people today has become a long-past history."

Elena Obraztsova. Goodbye Queen!

"When I pray morning and evening, I always ask: I want to die first, and then finish singing!" - this is how Elena Obraztsova said in her last interview. She gave it to our film crew on November 28, 2014. That evening there was a Big Ball at the Bolshoi Theater in honor of Elena Obraztsova's 75th birthday. And for the first time, the best voices of the world sounded on the same stage - Anna Netrebko, Dmitry Hvorostovsky, Maria Gulegina, Jose Cura. They came to congratulate dear Elena Vasilyevna. And later, behind the scenes, we agreed to meet here, exactly a year later, to celebrate her 76th birthday. Obraztsova herself only smiled silently. No one knew about her terminal illness at that time, except the closest ones. A few days after the anniversary ball, Elena Obraztsova flew to Germany for treatment. We were going to continue shooting a big movie in the new year, when all the holidays are over. And they ended. Suddenly.

News From the Other World

The Mamleev family portrait, set in the cramped interior of a small Moscow flat, is an experiment in metaphysical documentary making. Yury Mamleev, the great writer of the Russian chthonic, plays with a cat while his wife, the translator Maria Mamleeva, flips through a photo album from their émigré years in Paris and America. But something eerie seeps into these scenes of simple comfort, vaguely manifesting itself in the elliptical editing and the soundtrack’s unsettling, abstract humming.

No Nation Without Culture

“While shooting my feature documentary film, Memory, in April of 2021 in Grozny, Chechnya (the birthplace of my mother and where I grew up), I felt the influence of the gigantic portraits of Putin, Kadyrov Senior and Kadyrov Junior all over the city. They observed me from everywhere. In parallel to the production of the film, we set out to capture the feeling of totalitarianism that these portraits conveyed. We got up at 4 in the morning and shot through the window of a car because such actions put us under threat of persecution. We understood that we were documenting the time of the birth of fascism in Russia.” Vladlena Sandu
