Why?

Fifteen years after NATO's 78-day bombardment of Yugoslavia, memories of the bombing still haunt present-day Serbia. NATO killed over 2,000 people, hundreds were civilians, 88 were children. Serbs ask 'why?' above all. Why did NATO smash their cities, kill their children, bomb hospitals and schools? When the NATO bomb campaign began (on March 24th 1999) Jelena Milincic was a student at the University of Belgrade, and just 18 years old. When the first bombs shook Belgrade she cowered under a table with her mother, sister, and best friend. Remembering this 15 years later, they laugh nervously. Jelena takes Anissa Naouai on a road trip, to remember the victims, and hear the survivors of NATO's strike terror. RT presents 'Zashto?' (Why?) on the trauma of terror in Serbia.

Amateurs in Space

The hero of the film, Alexander Shaenko, with a group of like-minded people, created the first satellite in Russia, made by amateurs, outside of any government structures.

Now they are busy developing a closed biosphere based on microalgae to support long-range space flights. It's not quite working out yet, but the road will be mastered by the walking one.

Listen To The Grass Grow

"Listen to the grass grow" is a short abstract personal memory; sometimes too emotional, sometimes too illogical. But that’s the way our thoughts are floating in the space of our consciousness. This is the story of Maria. We are observing her at the beginning of her ‘new life’ in a new and unknown place. An unfamiliar house, she has no memories here, not yet. Her past belongs to other spaces, far away from here. She’s exploring this new place with her body, in order to awaken its physical memory and to reach an inner authentic movement. Maria is trying to feel this place; her body is trying to feel this space; her movements, driven by old memories, are filling the void.

White Blood

The heroes of this picture are the winners. They were able to cope with a deadly disease, and it seems that they came out of this fight changed. They, their relatives, their doctors, and their donors talk about what and who helped them recover, about what it is like to endure cancer, about how their attitude towards life is changing. These stories, which happened almost simultaneously, are somewhat similar and at the same time very different, because each person has taken something different from the field of pain.

Northern Spaceport. The Story of Plesetsk

The pride of Soviet engineers, a secret project hidden in the impenetrable taiga, among swamps and fogs — for a long time the Plesetsk cosmodrome was a serious issue in the confrontation between the USSR and the USA. Today the Plesetsk is a unique launching complex that provides for both Russian defence and scientific space programs. We will go to the extreme north, to the very heart of the taiga, to live one day at the cosmodrome with its inhabitants and witness the launch of a real rocket.

A Place of Being

Maison d'Être is an exploratory documentary about people's emotional place attachment in highly dynamic Greater Paris undergoing large-scale urban renewal campaigns. Parisien suburbia has been a frontier between world civilisations where wellbeing encounters despair. Here local habits get confronted by government-sponsored plans for urban transformation and social aid. In Paris "home" manifests itself as one of the key existential challenges of the modern culture - a "raison d'être" of everyday life. The film is addressed to both professional audiences of urbanists, city planners, architects, and curious public. It displays numerous conversations among residents, city activists, politicians, city planners and scientists, those who reflect on the regeneration strategy of the socially depressed urban neighbourhoods.

Kvadrat

A feature-length documentary, Kvadrat explores the realities of techno DJing, using the example of Andrey PUSHKAREV, a Russian DJ recognized worldwide. Filmed as a hybrid between a road-movie and a music video, the film not only illustrates the festive atmosphere of techno night clubs, but also reveals the lesser known side of this profession: weeks of track selection, lengthy travel, difficult schedule. The film suggests to reconsider the stereotype of a popular musician, to find out whether the artist is happy, to ponder what's most important to him and his audience? Shot in Switzerland, France, Hungary, Romania and Russia, the film omits the typical documentary elements: no interviews, no explanatory voice-over, no facts, no figures. The visuals and the techno music replace them, leaving the detailed interpretation to the viewer.

Proverbs

The story is based on three stories from the Orthodox spiritual heritage. The first story, "Unusual Obedience," was inspired by a parable from the ancient Paterik: do not be proud of praise and do not grumble when scolded. The second story - "Mute Prayer" - told by St. Basil of Kinesham shows that even when standing in the temple, we often think about worldly matters, but at the same time we want to be heard. The third novella is the story of Fr. Pavel Gruzdev about "How Christ went to visit" but, clothed in earthly things, was once again rejected.
