Vampalaš

The film is dedicated to the Nart epic, which is based on tales of the origin and adventures of heroic heroes (Narts), common among a number of peoples of the North Caucasus. Occupying a prominent place in the culture of the Ingush, it is closely associated with various Ingush families and societies that associate their origin with the Nart heroes. After the adoption of Islam, the Narts lost their divine significance, but the tales and legends about them have forever remained in the people's memory. The video essay conveys the state captured during the expedition to Ingushetia. The giants "went into editing", the past was lost in the new religion. The flow of time carries the tales into oblivion, leaving only scraps of phrases and information that have settled in the locals.

Wait for me in oblivion

This film explores coping mechanisms, dynamic memory, and forgetting in the face of catastrophic events. 217 sheets of paper with graphite prints become frames for eight short videos. This is not simply a graphic series, but a transformational process. The static sculpture that shares the three-dimensional space with us must begin its movement. After combustion, physical objects become memories of themselves. And in a series of prints/frames, they sink into oblivion.

Gardens Are Always for Next Year

You may have heard about the project "Garden named after" artist and curator Artyom Filatov — an open memorial garden at a private crematorium in Nizhny Novgorod. You can go there with your feet to listen to a sound installation or stay in a space of quiet reflection, or you can visit this place virtually and dedicate one of the plants in the garden to someone from your departed loved ones. Artyom closely connects his practice with the history of Nizhny Novgorod, but at the same time raises questions that go beyond one city and our time in general — he strives to create art that speaks about life and death and looks to the future, revealing itself in a new way for the next generations. In the film, Filatov talks about The Garden and his other works, as well as the ideas behind them.

Filonov

Pavel Filonov is one of the most mysterious artists of the 20th century. Filonov's contemporaries - Malevich, Kandinsky, Tatlin - are known throughout the world not only among art historians, but also to people who are even superficially interested in art. How did it happen that an artist of no lesser stature, who created an absolutely unique, inimitable style in painting, was almost unknown for decades? How did an artist who practically "reassembled" art end up being overlooked?

There is Still More to Come

A film representing a stroll through St. Petersburg. Captured by a broken frame composition, deserted streets, frozen city infrastructure, stone embankments, pigeons in parks, dandelions breaking through the pavements, aberrations of color and light evoke an increasing sense of unease. Ambient sounds—random conversations, city noises, and a track composed by Mexican sound artist Enrique Arriaga—merge with the visuals, making the film a direct speech of a human/camera/witness about what clearly audible in the actual urban space.

Beyond. The Seventy-First

Aleksey Kozlov is interested in drifting and decides to build a drift car from an old rare Toyota Cresta car from 1987 with body number JZX-71 (hence the name of the film). This is a story about a simple guy who lives in Kamchatka, where there is still no infrastructure for training, where there is snow on the road 9 months a year, but he dreams of competing in the most prestigious race in Russia RDS-GP, where top pilots compete with each other from all over the world.
