Papa Srapa is the main shaman of the Russian avant-garde sound. Noise musician known for his insane, mind-blowing noise performances. An artist and inventor who creates completely unpredictable synthesizers, each of which is a unique object of art. Surprisingly, it is the USSR that is the birthplace of industrial music. Back in the 1920s, Dziga Vertov recorded musical compositions from the sounds of a sawmill, and Arseny Avraamov created a symphony entirely consisting of the sounds of the city: factory whistles, whistling steam and the sounds of aircraft. With this film, we want to introduce to the world a modern representative of a century-old underground tradition who has dedicated his life to noise, performance and synthesis. close

Nikola Tesla would always remain a scientist whose life was a sort of mystification rather than pure reality. close

The history of Russia knows many examples of personal courage of its rulers, however, the feat of Tver Prince Mikhail Yaroslavich, and the Battle of Borthenev, which preceded him, stand apart in this row. Events 700 years ago still cause fierce debate, both in society and among historians. For centuries, the events of 1317 were considered from different angles - political, social, religious, dozens of monographs were written about them, however, this story did not have a cinematic embodiment. Nevertheless, the act of Mikhail Tversky can be considered the first example of effective patriotism.
The story about the feat of Mikhail Tversky is a vivid example, illustrating both the strength of the human spirit and the time in which it was incredibly difficult to survive without this spirit.
