GOSHA: Years of Study

An authentic piece of documentary filmmaking, shot in the courtyard of a music college on Matveyev Lane in the early 2000s—lost and then found, fragmented into the mosaic of a Siemens C65 camera and melted back into a seamless canvas by modern technology—becomes a memory that almost anyone can try on for themselves. And the very participants of that filming might not even acknowledge that all of it truly happened to them. Perhaps Andrey, Anton, Vladislav, Georgy, Pavel, and Timofey had to let go of these memories so that they could become public and universally relatable for each of us—those who will become the viewers of GOSHA: Years of Study.

December 21

This film is intended to show that theater exists in everyday life, and art is not only available to the elite. In 1984, director Aleksandr Kuprin created the theatrical composition "December 21" and created a theater group to implement it. The first production took place in the attic of the Palace of Culture of the Moscow Electric Lamp Factory, and then the director of the palace, Aleksandr Vainshtein, brought the performance to legal venues. This film is an interweaving of fiction and documentary and a brief history of Russia.

As Always Voting

Workers climb snowy mountains and old ladies sell flowers on the street, the church bells ring and people hang out at a pagan festival, crazy activists near Kremlin "fight back" the hated America and an former Soviet party worker reflects on the truth and Pontius Pilate, a doctor is proud of his "profession without convictions" and teenagers film TikToks. Even the propaganda machine is more concerned about the upcoming 10th anniversary celebration of the Crimea "joining to Russia". It seems no one wants to really participate in the life of these elections, only the obedient uneven march of cadets to the polling places remains. The elections without voting. As always voting.

The Space Between

The space between is a place where time stands still. It carefully preserves the memories of the people who once inhabited it: notes, photographs, drawings—everything the fleeing residents, for whatever reason, didn’t take with them to their new home. Mutilated and ailing, it stands at the center of every city, waiting for the moment when a ‘mechanical hand’ will tear it down and turn it into dust. A new house will then be built on the same land, and the cycle will repeat.

Echo: A Sonic Journey

How does a binaural microphone differ from a bionic one, what sound effects can you experience if you sit on a fire escape for a long time at night, and what is psychoacoustics? Where do the illusions that we can hear come from, and what wonders of technology do people come up with to record them? Musician and composer Tigran Paravyan, who faced these questions while studying at the Faculty of Sound Research at New York University, studies the possibilities and features of non-standard microphones and acoustics of different spaces. In the film, he travels to unusual places in Armenia, from medieval monasteries to abandoned concert halls, sings and captures songs and sounds of places using experimental sound recording methods.
