Let It All Burn

With songs like This World Is Sick and Sad Bitch, IC3PEAK had acquired a reputation for laying bare the malaise of many Russian millennials. By the time they reached Voronezh, the group already had been briefly detained in the Siberian city of Novosibirsk for unclear reasons and had seen a string of performances canceled. Now, a December 6, 2018 police investigation into alleged food poisoning at the Voronezh billiards club where IC3PEAK was scheduled to perform looked like it might lead to the same. In Let It All Burn, Russian filmmaker and TV journalist Andrey Loshak went behind the scenes to document the club and band’s struggle with local police and officials over the right to perform.

Moving Day 2

In 1970 the director Lyudmila Stanukinas made the documentary film Moving Day, which that same year won one of the biggest prizes at the Krakow Film Festival. The film was a montage of footage shot in the course of a single day, which was a revelation for the documentary cinema of the time. In February 1999, Stanukinas (every one called her Lyalya) left her apartment in Jerusalem following the death of her husband and constant co-author, the director Pavel Kogan. The filmmaker Felix Yacubson, who at the time was living nearby, captured this moment for his video archive. When Lyalya herself passed away in July 2020, he edited the 25 minutes of footage to create a 10-minute film.

Seize The Moment

It can happen that people divided by centuries live according to the same time. Daniil Kharms and the students of the help centre for people with disorders in the autistic spectrum “Anton’s Right Here” appeared unexpectedly close to each other, and the students could enact two of his stories. To get into Kharms, they didn’t’ have to play anybody, but something imperceptibly Kharmsian is there in each of their movements, looks and word. Time is similar to beads: every second is like a unique pebble on the string of life. There are also people, in whose hands the beads are scattered and turn into a miracle.

Waiting for the Sea

Can an electronic music festival held in the remote shores of the dried-up Aral Sea inspire a creative renaissance and shine a spotlight on a little-known environmental disaster? With this question in mind, filmmaker George Itzhak sets out on a cinematic journey to this far-flung corner of Uzbekistan to create a vibrant and thought-provoking portrait of Stihia, the music festival fuelling an electronic dawn for Central Asia and acting as an alarm bell for a man-made environmental crisis.

Holiday

Someone called Father Arkady a punk priest, some called a hippie priest. Once he really hippie, and then he left with friends from Moscow to a remote Karelian village and began to build a temple. Over time, this remote village became a point of attraction for many people: poets, artists, scourges, withdrawal addicts, musicians, writers, criminals, photographers. Father Arkady was an unusual priest from the generation of the 90s and in some way reflected the fate of this generation. It all started with freedom and endless celebration, but what did it lead to? Is it all over, or is it just that Holiday has changed?
