Documentary film "Peter Mamonov". Black on white" is dedicated to musician, actor, singer and writer Petro Mamonov, and came out on his anniversary - April 14, 2011 Peter Nikolaevich turned 60 years old.
Mass viewers learned and fell in love with Mamonov, first of all, as the performer of the main roles in the paintings of Pavel Lungin "Island" and "Ts", for which he received many awards. However, despite all the glory and honor, Petr Mamonov is far from public. For the past 15 years, he, a native of Moscow, lives in the suburban village of Efanovo, avoiding communication with fans and journalists. Here the authors of the picture managed to shoot Mamonov as he sees only close people.
The film "Peter Mamonov". Black on White is not just a biographical documentary that tells about the life and creative path of Peter Mamonov. First of all, this film is a monologue film, the story of the actor and musician about how his life developed, about the ups and downs, about fame and its consequences, about mistakes, alcohol, drugs, about faith and his path to it, about family and loved ones.
In the painting "Peter Mamonov." Colleagues and friends of Pyotr Nikolayevich take part in black on white - director Pavel Lungin, musicians Ilya Lagutenko and Boris Grebenshchikov, actors Ivan Okhlobystin, Viktor Sukhorukov and Denis Burgazliyev, journalists Alexander Lipnitsky and close

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. close

Leuchter, Jr. Mr. Leuchter was an engineer who became an expert on execution devices and was later hired by holocaust revisionist historian Ernst Zundel to "prove" that there were no gas chambers at Auschwitz.

Most of the footage is of Leuchter, working in and around execution facilities or chipping away at the walls of Auschwitz, but Morris also interviews various historians, associates, and neighbors. close

The documentary series “The Elders” are films about true ministers of the Church, living saints, who were given a prayerful and prophetic gift during their lifetime and who, by their deeds and closeness to God, earned the right to be called elders.
The heroes of the film are elders not because they have grown old in years and are white-haired. They are elders by the call of the soul, people with a pure heart, which became the abode of the Holy Spirit, bearers of his grace-filled gifts - healing, unceasing prayer from the heart, foresight, consolation.
The film tells about the most famous elders who lived in the 20th century. The heroes of the program come to life in vivid memories of those who knew them during their lifetime – parishioners, fellow churchmen, spiritual children. close

André - The Voice of Wine takes us on a cinematic journey from Russia through Europe to America as we embrace the story of André Tchelistcheff, who devoted his life to the ancient craft of winemaking. André was a Russian aristocrat who spent his early years working and studying all around Europe before going to Napa Valley, California, where his life was filled with both tragedy and success as he helped to move the Californian wine industry from a virtually moribund state after the repeal of Prohibition. He had a direct impact on the 1976 Paris blind tasting, known as the ‘Judgement of Paris’, staged by Steven Spurrier which turned the world of wine upside down. André was not a businessman, but an artist and scientist whose heart and soul were devoted to wine. His philosophy about life and his love for wine continues to influence generations of wine makers throughout the world. close

The turning point for Russia is 1991. Exiled from the country, writer, dissident and human rights activist Georgiy Vladimov found himself in a forced, joyless emigration in Niedernhausen. Later, Vladimov will begin writing a novel in three parts, "Long Way to Tipperary," which, according to the plan, would cover the period from August 1946 to August 1991. But he will have time to write only the first part, where he will again and again return to the almost unconscious childish act of one day in August 1946. On that blurry day in memory, cadet-Suvorov student Zhora Vladimov went to support the disgraced writer Mikhail Zoshchenko. close
