"Trouble the Water" takes you inside Hurricane Katrina in a way never before seen on screen. The film opens the day before the storm makes landfall--just blocks away from the French Quarter but far from the New Orleans that most tourists knew.

Weaving an insider's view of Katrina with a mix of verité and in-your-face filmmaking, it is a redemptive tale of self-described street hustlers who become heroes--two unforgettable people who survive the storm and then seize a chance for a new beginning. close

The 2011 season. 4 issues.
Directors: Alexander Shuvikov, Daria Khrenova, Anna Golikova.
Episode 1. The 60s: Thaw, or Secret Strategies for Renewal
The main film director of the thaw era should probably be considered Khrushchev. With one caveat: he did not control the "most important of the arts" as his predecessor, Stalin, did. Khrushchev only occasionally interfered in the film process, ceding the main role to officials of the governors. It is with him that the hardware style of cinema management is formed, which later will lead to the appearance of "shelf" films. The film is attended by Alexei German, Sergey Solovyov, Vitaly Melnikov, Armen Medvedev and others.
Episode 2. '70s: The golden age of stagnation. Philip Ermash and Vladimir Baskakov
Behind the well-established system of production of “gray” films of the 70s was a man who is not without reason called a producer – both in scope and intuition. This is the all-powerful Minister of cinema Philip Ermash. And his de facto predecessor, Vladimir Baskakov, manages cinema and, after his resignation, from his office at the Film Institute. The film is attended by Alexei German, Sergey Solovyov, Gemma Firsova, Vitaly Melnikov, Armen Medvedev and others.

Episode 4. 90s: Change of fate
With the appointment of Armen Medvedev as film minister, Bulat Okudzhava’s prophecy comes true: “Soon all my friends will break into the leadership, and then it will probably become easier for me to live.” True, freedom, which so dreamed of filmmakers, turns into permissiveness and a new "shelf" - now not censorship, but market. The rental system is destroyed: in cinemas they sell furniture. The situation is saved by festivals that turn into parallel rentals. The state becomes a philanthropist, which finds expression in the support of the low-budget project of Gorky Studio. It remains to be seen who will become the new most important filmmaker - the minister, the critic or the producer? The film is attended by Vadim Abdrashitov, Sergey Solovyov, Vladimir Menshov, Vitaly Melnikov, Andrei Plakhov, Ivan Okhlobystin, Alexei Fedorchenko, Alexei Serebryakov and others. close
