In the hours after the Titanic struck an iceberg 100 years ago, a team of shipbuilders and engineers raced against time to save the stricken vessel. Based on eye-witness accounts, this film reveals what went on below decks in the hours before the Titanic sank, telling the previously relatively unheralded stories of engineers who fought courageously to hold back the power of the sea and keep the power systems running, even when they learned that all was lost. Most of these men died but their actions bought enough time to save many lives. This drama-documentary tells a poignant story of self-sacrifice by the Titanic's engineers, stokers and firemen in the face of impending death. close

Victims to back down. Until the day they were tired of being victims, they destroyed their executioners. The center of the uprising (1702-1705) was the Sevenna mountain range on the right bank of the Rhône, in the province of Languedoc. On July 24, 1702, Esprey Seguier, Abraham Masel, Gideon Laporte and their followers killed the Catholic Archbishop François du Chel de Langlan, killed the inhabitants of the castle, burned 2 churches, destroying their priests. The camizars began to smash the Catholic churches, the houses of the clergy, the merchants and the fiscals, took away the collected taxes and the church tithes. It was not until the spring of 1705 that the government made concessions on taxation. Despite the defeat of the uprising, individual outbreaks of war continued until 1715. The remainder were called kamizars (shirts) from the Languedoc word camiso, meaning "peasant shirt," as they wore white shirts over armor during the fighting at night. . . close

The short film “Red Fountains” is a historical drama, a story about the fate of one of the veterans, winners in the war against fascism, the hero of the Great Victory.
Timofey Timofeyevich participated in the Victory Parade on Red Square in June 1945. 65 years after those events, he was invited from the taiga hinterland to Moscow to receive an anniversary medal and again take part in the festive parade.
For all these years, Timofey Timofeyevich has never been to the capital. He remembers Moscow of the 45th year, and the happy faces of the winners, but not yet veterans, illuminated by the festive fireworks. Many solemn events were prepared for the veteran’s arrival – lunch at the city hall, a meeting with schoolchildren, a visit to the Armed Forces Museum, but all this is not so interesting for him. Much more veteran would like to walk through the streets of Moscow, and remember the time when the young winner he walked through the festive Moscow.
For his companion, a young lieutenant, a representative of the Ministry of Defense named Vovchik, this walk becomes a real revelation, an opportunity to touch a story about which he judged very superficially from books and films. Especially wants to see the hero of the painting Red Fountains in Victory Park. They are a symbol of the memory of all those who passed through the fire of the war alive, and of those who could not reach the Victory, who should always remain in the memory of both the state and ordinary people, ordinary citizens of the country saved from fascism. close
