The Town Festival

The small town of Kalyazin on the banks of the Volga is famous for its bell tower rising right out of the water. More than half a century ago, during the construction of the Uglich hydroelectric power station, half of the city was flooded. Quiet sleepy streets that go straight into the river make this place really special. Like a mermaid who has climbed ashore, Kalyazin anxiously breathes the half-heartedness of his earthly fate. But every day bread is baked, children are born, women bend over sewing machines, men work behind the machines, asserting the desperate struggle of life where it seems that everything is meaningless and fleeting. Like a river along which large elegant steamboats sail past the bell tower, saying that somewhere there is a completely different life.

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. So, for example, here a giant wave is quite capable of throwing a person from Earth to the Moon. And lunatics can live on the moon. And these lunatics, it turns out, are also preoccupied with the completely earthly problem of "fathers and children."

Brain. Evolution

In the film, we look into the future. How does scientific knowledge change our worldview, culture and environment? On the one hand, the development of technology expands our boundaries of freedom - we live longer, learned to establish communication with paralyzed people, etc. But the more scientists learn about the brain, the more questions arise. Back in the 1980s, Benjamin Libet conducted experiments that, according to many scientists, proved that man does not have free will. Neuroscientists say that our behavior and decisions depend only on the activity of neurons.

To The Street!

The first Russian documentary film about the phenomenon of street music. This story is about how artists with different social status, education, views of the world were united, once the decision was made - to go out and turn it into a stage. Underground passages, subway cars, avenues, parks and squares are their battlefields for the indifference of passers-by; the opportunity to do what you burn from; to be heard; a sense of freedom and independence; searching for your audience; a step on the way to the stadiums; not uncommon and just a way not to die of hunger.

Romeos and Juliets

For more than four centuries, the history of Romeo and Juliet has been considered an example of a romantic relationship between a man and a woman. However, William Shakespeare modestly kept silent about what kind of drama (and, possibly, tragicomedy) might have turned the relations of the heroes, if not for the finale, which is well known to us. The film of Konstantin Seliverstov on the basis of documentary stories offers several possible options for the continuation of the classic plot.

Sacred Ground

Some time ago they would come here to walk their dogs, play with their kids or jog. Today they are two hostile parties fighting over a patch of ground in a park. Every Sunday half of them come to pray by a wooden cross, and another half is there to defend a small spot of land, which they want to stay public. Who could have imagined such a confrontation in a country which had been fully secular, even atheistic for decades? Still, a collision between orthodox believers and local dwellers, who don’t want to have a new church instead of a park or a public garden is quite common in the Russian capital these days. “200 Churches” development project started by Russian Orthodox Church in cooperation with Moscow government provoked several severe conflicts in the city.

The Borovsk Effect

The name of Vladimir Ovchinnikov has become widely known in Russia over the last decade - particularly this period of time the street artist has lived in a town that seemed to bewitch him. The town of Borovsk is a strange place, which has been an island of memory for all innocent victims since the XIV century. Boyarynya Morozova died here, Archpriest Avvakum was also imprisoned here and numerous victims of political repression were shot here. Here Ovchinnikov suddenly began to paint on the walls of houses - contrary to the indignation of the authorities: the "naive" graffiti artist is not 19, but 80 years old. Real passions began to flare up in the town in 2015, when Vladimir Ovchinnikov painted on one of the fences his first "memorial to the victims of political repressions"…

Chekhov and Levitan

This nonfiction film is devoted to two great Russian artists. Instead of focusing on the history of the mundane, everyday friendship between Chekhov and Levitan, the film emphasizes the affinity of their creative efforts and the interplay of their similar, yet so different, personalities. What the authors of the film offer to their viewer is no idyll: it is the world full of nuance and contradiction that reveals itself against the backdrop of the era, at the same time uncovering the most subtle peculiarities of the two great creators. The cross-pollination of two creative methods and the interconnection of the two geniuses represent the leading motif of the film.
