The anti-budget film Kado is a film permeated with Kafkaesque sentiments. Here, as in the stories of the famous writer, everything is built on absurdity, fear of the surrounding hostile world. This film is able to sow in the soul of the viewer a sense of anxiety, homelessness.
The main character of the film "Cado" is a lonely "white collar", an office plankton that attracts a gray and dull existence. Every day like his twin brother is like the day before. Dirty shabby apartment, ridiculous and boring paperwork, poor scrambled eggs for breakfast - hopeless everyday life, they have no end.
One day the hero wakes up and realizes that everything looks and happens differently, something has changed. Perhaps his inner self has come into conflict with nauseating reality. Now he is either half asleep, or half awake. The viewer cannot fully understand whether the main character died or simply moved to another, parallel world. Anxiety contributes to the open finale of the film. The genre of this film does not lend itself to unambiguous definition – it is fiction and grotesque, surrealism, bitter irony, a symbolic denunciation of the realities of modern society. close

From the start, Vertov made himself known as an irreconcilable enemy of “acted films,” which he regarded as a violation of truth. At the peak of World War II, however, such lofty artistic principles proved impractical. Vertov’s poetic and patriotic For You, Front! is a fiction film with a script and two actors. In a letter to her fiancé, a soldier on the front, Saule asks if there is anything he needs from “our beloved Kazakhstan.” Yes there is, he replies: lead, which can be used to make bullets to kill the enemies of “our beloved country.” close

Refugees from the Caucasian republics, Armenians, Azerbaijanis and Russians, meet on the shore of the Black Sea: they work as shop keepers, life guards, karaoke singers, or just enjoy their holidays. It all happens at a place called Broadway, which is no-where to be found on a map, not even the most detailed ones. The temporary inhabitants of Broadway construct a whole world en miniature, consisting of small carts, tents or booths parked in close, haphazard rows. The scenery, which is put up for a few weeks during the summer, bubbles with life – and in no way corresponds with ordinary daily life in Russia. close
