Firing Squad

In December 1941, the Nazis shot four and a half thousand people in Yalta. Most of them were Jews. The Soviet authorities did not want to bury these people. Even the obelisk at the place of execution was put up after the war with the money of the relatives of the victims... In July 1994, Mikhail Degtyar came to this firing pit and saw a terrible picture - skulls, bones, documents of people shot 53 years ago were scattered very close to the Yalta International Hotel. 9 years later, Mikhail Degtyar returned to the place of execution of Yalta Jews. What has changed during this time? This is the movie "Execution".

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.

The Season When Velvet Antlers Get Ripe

If you’ve ever wondered whether reindeer antlers bleed if you saw them off, this film will leave you with no doubt. In the remote Altai Mountains of Russia, on the border with China, Mongolia and Kazakhstan, reindeer herders make a living from the trade in “velvet antlers.” South Korean customers in particular swear by the extract made from the antlers, which is supposed to have medicinal properties, including to treat rheumatoid arthritis. The entire process of “harvesting” the antlers is documented in unadorned and grisly detail, interspersed with commentary from the herders and panoramic footage of the green and rugged mountain landscape. During cigarette breaks, the herders bemoan their lack of prospects and the deplorable state of Russian politics and the economy, describing their own position as akin to slavery. Meanwhile, it seems to be the visiting Korean dealers who are raking in the profit.
