At the Edge of the World

Yakutia, the first half of the 19th century. Bishop Ambrose goes to the snowy steppe to the newly baptized Tungus, accompanied by the disgraced monk Cyriacus, who once refused to baptize "foreigners" en masse. On the way, they are overtaken by a blizzard. The pagan guide Harpoon saves the bishop's life, and the newly baptized Stepan throws Cyriacus to freeze. The death of the elder becomes a miracle of unity: unbaptized Tunguses themselves come to the faith of "Cyriacus", and Ambrose finally sees the truth — about the equality of all before God and love, which knows no difference between baptized and pagans.

Greatness of Absence

What does an actor leave behind? That is the question that Alla Demidova asks herself, the audience, the eternity. She went and lived through the tragedies by Shakespeare, Electra, Phaedra, Medea. Where can one go henceforth? If only become a phantom, an image, something eternal, an enduring reflection of this world in the mirror. This film is a journey away from our reality to an imaginary universe, to reflections, images, phantoms. It starts with an exposition devoted to Alla Demidova at the St. Petersburg Museum of Theatre and Music Art. But it does not only document the space; thanks to Demidova's speech it turns into a retrospective of her work, the parts she played, an explication of her approach to acting.

A Few Thoughts from Our Solitude

Lesha Stolyarov's contemporary art includes bitumen paintings, pictures made of gas burners, abstract art, in short, everything that is incomprehensible to the layman. Recently, Lesha has been going through a creative crisis; he wants to speak about God, but using the artistic means that are unfamiliar to hm. So he decides to make an experiment and travels to the Spaso-Sumorin Monastery in distant Totma to set up an installation amidst the Vologda snows. Only one monk lives in this monastery – Father Feodosiy. Forty years ago, he was a painter but abandoned his craft to serve God. One would think he should be sympathetic to art. However, the ultra-modern artist clashes with an equally "ultra" counterpart – only an orthodox one. Is it possible to reconcile contemporary art and the church, new trends and two-thousand-year-old traditions?

Prohanov. Counterattack

The film featuring Alexander Prohanov, the Russian writer and publicist, is built around the metaphor of a counterattack. The writer uses this metaphor to identify both Russian current geopolitical strategy and the deep metaphysical meaning, the mystical code of the Russian historical algorithm. A counterattack is always a response to an enemy attack, always a defense of one's own territory, culture, faith, and way of life. Russian history is always a counterattack. He who comes to us with a sword will perish by the sword.
