A documentary about the legendary series of nationally televised debates in 1968 between two great public intellectuals, the liberal Gore Vidal and the conservative William F. Buckley Jr. Intended as commentary on the issues of their day, these vitriolic and explosive encounters came to define the modern era of public discourse in the media, marking the big bang moment of our contemporary media landscape when spectacle trumped content and argument replaced substance. Best of Enemies delves into the entangled biographies of these two great thinkers, and luxuriates in the language and the theater of their debates, begging the question, "What has television done to the way we discuss politics in our democracy today?" close

Andrei Chikatilo is perhaps the most famous serial maniac of the Soviet era. The court proved that he had committed 53 murders, while according to the investigation, the criminal accounted for more than 65 victims. It took 12 years to catch the elusive Ripper. And psychiatrist Alexander Bukhanovsky played a significant role in his arrest and subsequent proof of guilt. The film “Stop Chikatilo” refers to those long-standing bloody events, revealing previously not widely covered details of this terrible case.
The audience of the film has a unique opportunity to hear an interview with Bukhanovsky, recorded shortly before the death of the doctor. He was able to develop a unique technique that allows you to determine the predisposition to commit murder. The patients of the famous psychiatrist will take part in the program “Stop Chikatilo”: they will tell about how the doctor helped them get rid of a dangerous disease, overcome obsessions and manias, which without proper treatment may well turn into a tragedy similar to the one that shook the Rostov region and the south of the country for more than a decade. close

Modern people cannot imagine life without television. Television, like every invention, has an author who first revealed it to the world. The documentary film "Zworykin-Muromets" Leonida Parfenova tells about Vladimir Kozmich Zworykin - a man who became famous in the United States and is completely unknown in his homeland in Russia, an inventor who stood at the origins of television.
The future father of television was born in 1889 in a small county Murom, the city where the legendary hero Ilya lived. He showed interest in technology early, and after graduating from a real school at home, in 1906 Zworykin went to St. Petersburg to enter the Imperial Institute of Technology. After graduating in 1912, he continued his studies in Paris.
The first experiments in the field of television, the main character of the film began to do even before the revolution, studying at the institute under the guidance of the famous professor B. L. Rosing.
The revolution changed the life of Vladimir Kozmich. Enlisted in the service of Kolchak, from whom he was engaged in the purchase of radio equipment in the United States, in 1919, Zworykin, after the arrest of Kolchak, remains in America, where his new life stage begins, which eventually made him a recognized specialist in the field of television.
The film "Zworykin Muromets" highlights all the highlights of the life of the inventor, whose name is inscribed in golden letters in the history of the world development of the television era. The main events of the biography of Vladimir Zvorykin were reconstructed by actors, and the role of the inventor himself was performed by a wonderful Russian actor, People's Artist of the USSR Sergey Shakurov. close

Documentary-game series about the Kronstadt uprising of 1921. At the end of February 1917, Kronstadt became the place on the map of the Russian Empire where the flames of the revolution broke out and from where it spread to other regions. The Baltic sailors were the first to revolt against the old government and established a new, Bolshevik one. So why did they rise up against the power of the Soviets even four years later?
The film recreates the events of that time, telling about the reasons that forced the sailors to take up arms again. The insurgency that began did not bother the authorities jokingly, and while the Kronstadts sought open and honest negotiations, the propaganda of the Bolsheviks had already declared them outside the law. close
