On October 25, 1917, construction of a new world began in Russia. One of the foremost workers in this construction was the writer Andrei Platonov. But a bright and fair future, his art and literature were seen by everyone in different ways. Its truth became impossible, and the new world was not built in the way it was conceived. Demanding millions of lives for its existence, a brighter future took the life of the writer’s son, who was arrested at the age of fifteen, and then Andrei Platonov himself. The story of the creation and death of the new world in seven days. close

The film is dedicated to Victor Tsoi, who would have turned 50 on June 21, 2012. Victor Tsoi lived in an era of change, when one reality was replaced by another. He was one of the creators of the new world. His life is a set of paradoxes. A half-blooded boy who grew up in Leningrad, a rocker whose name rattled all over the Union, a musician who became a hero of the era - he sang, and millions sang along with him. When the news reported about a car accident near Riga on August 15, 1990, many were surprised to learn that Viktor Tsoi was only 28 years old! And he managed to live such a big life in such a small period of time. “Tsoi is a figure like an angel,” said Boris Grebenshchikov. Perhaps that’s why his fans say “Tsoi is alive” because angels don’t die. close

In the winter of 2011, after a controversial election, Vladimir Putin was reinstalled as president of Russia. In response, hundreds of thousands of citizens rose up all over the country to challenge the legitimacy of Putin’s rule. Among them were a group of young, radical-feminist punk rockers, better known as Pussy Riot. Wearing colored balaclavas, tights, and summer dresses, they entered Moscow’s most venerated cathedral and dared to sing “Mother Mary, Banish Putin!” Now they have become victims of a “show” trial. close

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

This is an important date not only for the history of the club, but for the entire national football as a whole.

This film is not the official biography of His Holiness Patriarch Alexy II. This is a film about the life of a modest and strong man who gave himself to the service of God and the service of people. This is a look at the Patriarch and his memories of people who were next to him in the difficult Soviet years and not less complex post-Soviet ones. These people are his spiritual children, his inner circle, all those who perceived Patriarch Alexy not as an official of the Church, a as a native and close person who witnessed his everyday difficult life from childhood to the last. Physically unbearably difficult years. The audience is presented with the image of Patriarch Alexei, created not by news releases and digests of events, a by the eyes of those who saw him, first of all, a lonely, seriously ill person and at that time surprisingly strong, bright and resilient. 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
