In 2013, Russian President Vladimir Putin passed a bill forbidding the “promotion of nontraditional sexual relations to minors.” LGBT youth, now defenseless against insults and intimidation under this “gay propaganda” law, are considered sick, sinful and abnormal. Psychologists, teachers and even parents can be fined or imprisoned for supporting them. Forty-five Russian teens and tweens share their stories through anonymous interviews and video diaries. They detail their humiliations and discriminations, as well as their courageous stands against bullies. Their testimonies are collected online as the Children 404 project, named after the common “error 404 - page not found” web message. The support group’s founder struggles within the system to bring public attention and empathy to the victims of this government-endorsed hate, while activist Pasha decides he must leave his homeland altogether if he hopes to find a boyfriend and lead a normal life.

The film is a farewell. Farewell to the native land, the primordial banks of the river and the people who have lived on the Hangar for centuries. History repeats itself.

In history, he left a bright trace of the man who “gave free rein” to the Soviet people. He grew out of the “Khrushchev thaw” and at all stages of his career, rising to the very heights of power, remained true to his belief that the Soviet system can make its citizens free. Documentary film "Mikhail Gorbachev:" He came to give us freedom" - reflection Leonid Parfenov about the personality of Mikhail Gorbachev, about his deeds and deeds and about the role he played in the history of our country.
Asked what goals Gorbachev saw in the reformation he was pursuing, whether the collapse of the Soviet Union was inevitable, and how Mikhail Sergeyevich managed to preserve his dignity by leaving power, Mikhail Gorbachev: He came to give us freedom" tries to understand the main thing - how did the Stavropol guy grow up in himself and carry his inner freedom throughout his life and share it with all citizens of the country? And yet there was so much will that many of us even thought it was too much. Freedom, for which most citizens did not fight, was gratuitously gained and just as gratuitously left. What does the “freedom giver” think of it today? close

Nude men in rubber suits, close-ups of erections, objects shoved in the most intimate of places—these are photographs taken by Robert Mapplethorpe, known by many as the most controversial photographer of the twentieth century. Openly gay, Mapplethorpe took images of male sex, nudity, and fetish to extremes that resulted in his work still being labelled by some as pornography masquerading as art. But less talked about are the more serene, yet striking portraits of flowers, sculptures, and perfectly framed human forms that are equally pioneering and powerful. close

"I envy the Japanese" Van Gogh wrote to his brother Theo. In the exhibition on which this film is based - VAN GOGH & JAPAN at the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam - one can see why. Though Vincent van Gogh never visited Japan it is the country that had the most profound influence on him and his art. One cannot understand Van Gogh without understanding how Japanese art arrived in Paris in the middle of the 19th century and the profound impact it had on artists like Monet, Degas and, above all, Van Gogh. The film travels not only to France and the Netherlands but also to Japan to further explore the remarkable heritage that so affected Van Gogh and made him the artist we know of today. close
