Unnatural Selection

In 1992, during the Georgian-Abkhaz conflict, the famous Sukhumi Monkey Nursery found itself in the epicenter of military events. The fighting took place not only on the neighboring streets of Sukhumi, but also directly on the territory of the nursery. Some of the monkeys were transported by the staff to Russia to the institute's branch in Adler. Unfortunately, it was not possible to save all the primates. Hundreds of monkeys died, unable to endure cold, hunger, stress... The story of the monkey nursery from Sukhumi is not only another drama of the collision of the human world and the natural world. This is a fairly accurate reflection of what is happening to the human community itself in the so-called "hot spots".

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.

Dinner

By knowing oneself, a person knows the whole world. Refusal of self-knowledge distances a person from God. What does a woman seek in a man's world? What passionate and vague dreams control her? The painful search for the Ideal in an imperfect world is realized by a love triangle. While men measure their strength in the fight for a woman, her subconscious has already equalized them in weakness, because next to her Ideal, they are both just insignificant shadows. Perhaps the reason for the collapse is the very existence of an abstract Ideal, which inevitably gives rise to a comparative analysis of the surrounding men, and, as a result, the impossibility of choice. The happiness of motherhood for this woman lies in the absence of a reason for comparison, because the child is certainly pure and beautiful.

Dark Matter

The camera hovers above the Mir diamond mine in Sakha, northeastern Siberia, one of Earth's largest kimberlite pipes. This colossal crater spans a continuum of Soviet and Russian resource politics from Stalin to Putin, where technology and ideology inscribe military and economic imperatives into a landscape transformed by radioactive residues and industrial toxicity. Dark earth is excavated and transported, the images governed by extraction processes that sustained the Soviet Union through Sakha's mineral wealth. Out of dense nocturnal fog, debris and dimly lit industrial plants slowly crystallize, apocalyptic scenery alternating with undulating earthworks evoking folds of velvet. The observational camera remains still, registering rather than narrating, while a finely arranged soundscape transmits the ceaseless whirring of machines. Finally, the camera descends into the open pit, its contours dissolving into darkness, like an infinitely slow fall into bottomless depths.
