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 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

How does art survive in a time of oppression? During the Soviet rule artists who stay true to their vision are executed, sent to mental hospitals or Gulags. Their plight inspires young Igor Savitsky. He pretends to buy state-approved art but instead daringly rescues 40,000 forbidden fellow artist's works and creates a museum in the desert of Uzbekistan, far from the watchful eyes of the KGB. Though a penniless artist himself, he cajoles the cash to pay for the art from the same authorities who are banning it. Savitsky amasses an eclectic mix of Russian Avant-Garde art. But his greatest discovery is an unknown school of artists who settle in Uzbekistan after the Russian revolution of 1917, encountering a unique Islamic culture, as exotic to them as Tahiti was for Gauguin. They develop a startlingly original style, fusing European modernism with centuries-old Eastern traditions. close
