There is a ballad written by Ukrainian poet Taras Shevchenko called “That Catherine's hut is on the hill...". It is about a rescue of Catherine's lover, whom she saves by posing him as her brother. This story, as a parable, flies throughout Ukraine's history and reconstructs its dramatic and heroic episodes. Every challenge, including the Chernobyl accident, leaves Catherine without her home. But she is stubborn, as many generations of Ukrainians, in rebuilding her house out of pieces. The story is not only about Catherine's redemption, but also about Ukraine's survival throughout the centuries that is reflected in a folk tradition called Toloka. close

Inspired by Flaubert’s Madame Bovary, Sokurov’s Save and Protect recalls the most crucial events of Emma’s decline and fall: affairs with the aristocratic Rodolphe and the student Leon, the humiliation that follows her husband’s botching of the operation on the stable boy’s clubfoot. The universality of the theme of eternal struggle between the soul and the flesh is conveyed through the absence of specific reference to time or place: although the film seems to begin in 1840, its surreal mode effortlessly accommodates an automobile and the strains of “When the Saints Go Marching In” on an off-screen radio. Focusing on passion from a woman’s perspective and downplaying plot, Sokurov explores his subject in exquisite detail, capturing not only the heat of passion but also the quiet moments before and after and the innocent sensuousness of the body. close

Since the mid-20th century, the world has only ever heard one side of an incredible story. The story of a boy from an ordinary family whose ambition was to become an artist, but who instead became a drifter. His destiny, however, was not to drift, but to rise to the greatest heights of power, eventually becoming one of the most influential men who ever lived. Now for the first time, here is a documented account of a story many believe to be The Greatest Story NEVER Told! This ground-breaking documentary chronicles the rise of Germany from defeat in World War I, to communist attempts to take over Germany, hyperinflation during the Weimar Republic, widespread unemployment and misery, and Adolf Hitler’s rise to power. It also reveals the personal side of Adolf Hitler: who he was, his family background, his artwork and struggles in Vienna, and what motivated him to come to power. close

The way home for Aleksandr Rekhviashvili is not charted in the conventional sense. It takes the viewer along some peculiar roads and across a unique landscape: Georgian history and legend, politics and social stratification, religion and ethics. Allusive, stylized and allegorical from beginning to end, his long-banned The Way Home is in part a tribute to Rekhviashvili’s favorite director, Pasolini, especially to The Hawks and the Sparrows (1966). Together with the short film Nutsa (1971) and the widely acclaimed Georgian Chronicle of the 19th Century (1979; SFIFF 1983), The Way Home closes a triptych of films that represent Rekhviashvili’s poetic contemplation of Georgia’s past. It makes extensive use of poems by Bella Akhmadulina (the major female poet of the cultural ‘thaw’ of the ’50s and ’60s and a Georgian by descent), and of sets by Amir Kakabadze. Like other films in the trilogy, The Way Home is stunningly photographed in black-and-white.--Oxymoron close

The significant film Socrates (USSR) was shot in 1991 by director V. Sokolov. The events in the picture unfold in ancient Greece, from 404 to 399 BC. The grueling Peloponnesian War leads Athens to decline. The victorious Sparta puts a special garrison in the city and subordinates everyone to its orders. The established life of the Athenians is being reshaped by the invaders in a different way, and we are not talking about any democracy.
Traffic
The power belongs to the oligarchs, the main one of whom is the harsh Critias (B. Klyuev). Oligarchy means tyranny to the Greeks, confusion and fear in society. And in this outcome people blame Socrates (the role of G. Aredakov). He is a former teacher of the cruel Critias, and Lycon (A. Galko) demands that the philosopher be held accountable. But Critias also has a reason to deal with his teacher, and only the patronage of the supreme leader of Sparta Pausanias (actor G. Drozd) prevents this.
When the enemy leaves, Likon finds allies to fight Socrates - personal scores with him want to settle the talentless poet Melet (G. Vorobyov) and greedy leather magnate Anit (V. Stepanov). Out of revenge for an insulting assessment of his poetic abilities, Melet accuses the great Athenian of blasphemy and demands that he be executed for “corrupting the mind.”
Truth is more expensive
The evils of the philosopher’s teachings to society are proved by the fact that his disciples Critias, Harmid, and Alcibiades are guilty of the situation of Athens. Socrates "dismisses" the charges, but the majority votes for a severe sentence to the ruler of the Duma. The author of the statement that “a man above the crowd” is offered to repent and renounce seditious words. Then he can avoid death by asking the Athenians for forgiveness or exile.
But in the most difficult times for the country, Socrates does not consider himself entitled to trade in truth. Even if the price of a deal with conscience is his life. He obeys the court decision and accepts death with the pride of the hero.
The film “Socrates” was filmed by the creative and production association “Soyuztelfilm” in alliance with the film companies “Petropol” and “Lenfilm” in a watershed for the country in 1991, as it seemed, on the topic of the day. But even after decades, this picture remains relevant, as well as the events of centuries ago described in it. close

During World War II, millions of Jews from all over Europe are deported and killed in German concentration camps. When the German troops invade Norway, the Norwegian Jews feel safe and protected. But anti-Semitism knows no borders and as the war escalates in Europe, the situation changes drastically. Suddenly, their radios are taken away; their passports are stamped with a big J and one day, all the men men over the age of 15 are arrested and taken to prisons camps. Many of the women left behind are too frightened to escape and are desperately waiting for their husbands and sons to come back home. On November 26, 1942, hundreds of Jews are picked up by the police in the middle of the night and are transported to the dock in Oslo. Unknowing and frightened men, women, children, sick and old are forced on board the awaiting German cargo ship "SS DONAU". The ship leaves with 532 Norwegian Jews onboard; 302 men, 188 women and 42 children. The end station is Auschwitz. close
