We are looking for ourselves (our place) in the disturbing present, in the vague future, sometimes looking into the past, we avert our eyes in fright. Meanwhile, in our country, not on that European patch where we hustle, constantly complaining, but on the whole vast Russian expanse, another life breathes. It depends little on everything that is commonly called the values ​​of civilization, but it breathes deeply. The harsh nature of the north, vast deserted expanses, sea and river fisheries, as one of the main sources of life support, all this formed a unique way of life for Russia, its own culture and even its own special language, which Lomonosov attributed along with Russian and "Little Russian" to the three main Russian dialects. All this together created a completely special human type, a special “Pomor character”, rooted in the White Sea land and absolutely self-sufficient in this rootedness.

Harmonia Caelestis

Was Hungary one the fascists’ side in WWII? Why does a hydraulic chair leg cost 245 rubles in Maxidom, but only costs 105 in «Leroy Merlin»? Did they have socialism there too? So they don’t have that wall paper? Did you know that it’s democratic parliamentarian republic? It’s the birthplace of the Rubik’s cube. You’d be better off holding this glue instead of goofing off. What would you do if you found out your father was a collaborator? The father was repressed, while the son was repressing the uprising. You know, I write about you in my scripts, I give out your secrets, so what do you feel? Is it dad’s wrench? Maybe they can think that you just made me up? Well, at first I didn’t like it, but then I accepted it. Can I go now?

Rosenberg's Plan. The Nuremberg Lessons

A documentary about one of the main ideologists of the Third Reich Alfred Rosenberg and the milestones of his teachings, which proved to be important in the contemporary world. Among them are the focus on separatist movements, attack on Christianity, reevaluation of history. The fall of the Soviet Union and the disintegration of Yugoslavia. The division of the Ukraine. Wars in the Middle East. Sanctions against Russia. These seemingly dissimilar events are likely to have the same basis. Too much misunderstanding. The goal is not unity but dissociation. And the new enemy – terrorism, fascism of the present day – is making full use of it.

A Russian Fairytale

Street kids Kolya, Irina, Ksusha and Denis describe the abandoned building they live in as 'a Fairytale place' where anything is possible. Their gang have relied on each other since they were young kids; stealing, begging and turning tricks to survive on the streets of the broken, post-Soviet city of Perm, Russia. All born in the years after the collapse of the Soviet Union, they have created their own kind of society as together they battle with freezing temperatures, harassment from the police and their very vulnerable existance, using drink and drugs to block out the horrors of life and escape into fantasy. The four face their brutal, unforgiving world with grit and often caustic humour, but now, on the brink of adulthood, time is running out for any of the group to escape their toxic situation. Told with candid honesty and heart-breaking humour, A RUSSIAN FAIRYTALE is both eye-opening and utterly compelling, with tragic revelations woven between glimmers of hope.
