Ilya, a blind pensioner, plans to run a marathon in the average time for sighted athletes — four and a half hours. Dima's young coach helps him approach the matter correctly: maintain the pace, calculate the load, and hold out until the finish line. In the 15 minutes that the film lasts, we will see the entire range of emotions between them, from irritation to sincere support, and also learn a lot about Ilya: what he strives for when he stopped seeing what he considers important in life and what is nonsense. The director shoots the characters on grainy black-and-white film, interspersing jogging and conversations with surreal, fantasy portrait shots, separates the dialogue from the picture and stitches the film with a pulsating soundtrack, reassembles the material as a collage, creating an unusual and surprisingly integral aesthetic.

Stars in Siberia

A large company from Siberia invites top stars of Russian show business to a New Year's corporate party. The artists agree and board the plane, but life makes its own adjustments - from the airport, a bus takes them to a small village in the snow, where they are met by the head of the local village council. The stars are in for some tough tests: Svetlakov and Brekotkin will test their friendship for strength, Klava Koka will be left without social networks, Olga Buzova will end up in a large family of Evenk hunters, and Timur Batrutdinov will drink a love potion in the house of a Siberian healer.

Crush-82. The Secret Tragedy of the USSR

On October 20, 1982, during a match between Spartak Moscow and Dutch Haarlem, a stampede occurred on the stairs of the Luzhniki Stadium, in which, according to official data, 66 people died. On the day of the incident, only the visitors of the stadium found out about it, the next day — some of the relatives of the victims, and the information became public only 7 years later. As a result of the criminal case, several people from the stadium management were convicted, but perhaps they were not the only ones responsible for the tragedy. No one has ever put together her complete, comprehensive picture — and director Mikhail Reichelhaus is trying to do just that in his film. Detail by detail, he recreates the sequence of events of that day, relying on documents and talking with eyewitnesses — and it turns out not just an investigation, but also a real cast of that time.

Putin had been preparing his country for the big war long before it started.

Shot during one decisive year, before and after the invasion, the new film by fearless filmmaker Askold Kurov (The Trial - The State of Russia vs. Oleg Sentsov) portrays the last defenders of democracy in Russia and gives a glimpse of hope for another future.

Today the weather was warm. I dressed warmly. At three o’clock, I made a candle at Anya’s—and then drowned it. I’ll chat with you, and then I’ll have some nuts. You were right about Anton wanting to kiss me. He and Natasha had a fight, but they made up. We didn’t have any porridge, so we ate cottage cheese with jam instead. If you were here, you’d cook, remember? Yura’s back is sore because he’s always hunched over. There was fog today. At the street near the Circle. The foggy dew. For lunch, we had pasta and cheese. I helped Oksana cut it. She called me clumsy after I ran to the barn in a dress, slipped, and—bang!—landed in the mud. The moment I pick up Dasha in my arms, Masha wants to be held too. No bingo tomorrow; we’re taking a break. Time to rest. Goodnight. Talk to you sometime; not today.

Still With Us

During the Soviet era, there were over 30,000 Lenin monuments in the USSR. They were recommended to be erected in certain places where Ilyich could “see” how his precepts were being fulfilled. In turn, Lenin’s presence had a beneficial effect on the surrounding area. Temporary portals of sorts appeared near the monuments, leading to the communist future: flowerbeds were laid out, flags were placed, blue spruces were planted. What does Lenin see today? And what do these “islands of the future” look like now? How do the descendants of the builders of communism feel about Lenin? A film of 10 short stories, filmed in different parts of Russia.
