The movie "ALSIB." “The Secret Route” is a documentary film that addresses the true history of the Alaska-Siberia airway, which the Americans once said “either madmen or Russians can fly on.”
The Alaska-Siberia highway, or ALSIB, was opened in 1942 and operated until 1945. It served to deliver to the Soviet front fighters and bombers supplied under the Lend-Lease agreement from the United States to the Soviet Union. During the years of operation of the route, which passed through remote areas of the Far North of our country, almost 8,000 aircraft were transported, as well as tons of various cargoes - from food to mail. The existence of the route would have been impossible without the heroic work of Soviet pilots, flight radio operators and mechanics, who worked sometimes in unbearably difficult conditions. close

Belgrade, 1 September 1991. Having escorted the children to school, Viktor Nogin, the correspondent of the State Television and Radio of the USSR in Yugoslavia, and the cameraman Gennady Kurinnoy go to the shooting in the small town of Kostajnica. Serbs and Croats have lived side by side there for centuries. There is no power that will make them enemies. What few people expected, however, becomes a fact.

The investigation is conducted by the official bodies of Serbia, Croatia, a group of the Prosecutor General’s Office of Russia goes to the place. No one can answer the main questions.

Step by step in Serbia and Croatia, the filmmakers trace the route of the last trip of Viktor Nogin and Gennady Kurinny. On the screen - their reports from the battlefield, unique footage of historical chronicles, dozens of interviews with relatives, close friends, colleagues.

Modern people cannot imagine life without television. Television, like every invention, has an author who first revealed it to the world. The documentary film "Zworykin-Muromets" Leonida Parfenova tells about Vladimir Kozmich Zworykin - a man who became famous in the United States and is completely unknown in his homeland in Russia, an inventor who stood at the origins of television.
The future father of television was born in 1889 in a small county Murom, the city where the legendary hero Ilya lived. He showed interest in technology early, and after graduating from a real school at home, in 1906 Zworykin went to St. Petersburg to enter the Imperial Institute of Technology. After graduating in 1912, he continued his studies in Paris.
The first experiments in the field of television, the main character of the film began to do even before the revolution, studying at the institute under the guidance of the famous professor B. L. Rosing.
The revolution changed the life of Vladimir Kozmich. Enlisted in the service of Kolchak, from whom he was engaged in the purchase of radio equipment in the United States, in 1919, Zworykin, after the arrest of Kolchak, remains in America, where his new life stage begins, which eventually made him a recognized specialist in the field of television.
The film "Zworykin Muromets" highlights all the highlights of the life of the inventor, whose name is inscribed in golden letters in the history of the world development of the television era. The main events of the biography of Vladimir Zvorykin were reconstructed by actors, and the role of the inventor himself was performed by a wonderful Russian actor, People's Artist of the USSR Sergey Shakurov. close

The First World War in the Soviet Union was not remembered. The situation has not changed much these days. What we know about World War I today is largely based on how the war was presented in Soviet history textbooks.
Yet the significance of this great but forgotten war for the subsequent history of the world is truly enormous. The author of the film TV journalist Victor Pravdyuk decided to raise archival documents, eyewitness accounts, read diaries and letters, silent witnesses of that era, in order to present to contemporaries the history of the First World War and the exploits of its heroes as truthfully as possible. Could Russia have won that war? How would the world change if he won? What forces and why were not interested in her victory? These and many other questions are answered by the 32-part documentary The Great and the Forgotten, dedicated to the anniversary of the end of the First World War. close

The TV 14-episode project “Sevastopol Stories” is not a film adaptation of the eponymous work of Leo Tolstoy. Common is only the place of action - Sevastopol. The cycle covers the 200-year history of the famous city with a dramatic fate. We do not want to affect anyone’s political or national interests. This city has taken a firm place in the national and world history, and it is impossible to erase it from memory. We decided to revive some key pages of Russian history and show how it was.
To get away from the standard textbook narrative, we looked at Sevastopol and the most important moments of its history from an unusual side. The film is made in a new direction for domestic television infotainment - "informing, entertaining" (from the English "information" information and "entertainment" entertainment). It mixes the laws of fiction and documentary film. Our journey into history would have been impossible without the main figure, the Narrator. This is a famous actor of theater and cinema, Honored Artist of Russia Igor Zolotovitsky.
We are shooting in places where historical events really happened. We consult with authoritative scientists, use authentic household items, weapons, costumes. Both professional actors and residents of Sevastopol participate in mass scenes. close

However, the authorities in relation to cinema as the greatest mythmaker had their own plans, where none of our heroes fit. But the system was built.
Episode 3. 30s: Boris Shumyatsky. History of Soviet Hollywood
Director Dmitry Lavrinenko.
About the most famous movie utopia of the decade - "Soviet Hollywood". The attempt to implement this project, which was supposed to equalize the USSR and the United States in terms of the pace of film production, cost the author of the idea, the new People's Commissar of Cinematography Boris Zakharovich Shumyatsky freedom and life.

The great director, Ivan Alexandrovich Pyriev, in the years of Khrushchev’s thaw, was often a film director. He managed to do a lot: he raised Mosfilm from the ruins, created the Union of Cinematographers of the USSR, became the godfather of a new generation of directors. He absolutely did not want and could not fit into the framework of the Soviet system. He was not a functionary, but a builder. . .
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 3. 80s: The Death of Philippe Ermash's Empire
With the change of political weather in the mid-1980s, the style of film management also changed. At the Fifth Congress of the Union of Cinematographers, former leaders are overthrown. Director Elem Klimov is elected as the new chairman. Philip Ermash's empire is bursting at the seams. Alexander Kamshalov, who replaced him, became the last minister of Soviet cinema. The film is attended by Alexei German, Vadim Abdrashitov, Sergey Solovyov, Vladimir Menshov, Andrei Plakhov, 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
