A free film adaptation of the director's memoirs. In form, this is the "stream of consciousness" that attracted Sergei Eisenstein after getting acquainted with the experiments of James Joyce. The outer outline of the film is a long foreign trip of the director, which began in 1929, during which he recalls his past life and considers creative ideas. The film is constructed as a free alternation of reality, dreams, and fantasies. The material for it is fragments from the films of Sergei Eisenstein and his fellow contemporaries, documentary footage depicting the director and his time. The wide coverage of the faces and events reflected in the film shows the special role of Sergei Eisenstein in the culture of the twentieth century… close

Trains travel through the night without stopping. The clatter of the carriages quickly disappears, along with the wail of the locomotive. The people at the station are all asleep. But why are they so exhausted ? And what are they waiting for? Set inside an isolated train depot, The Train Station is one of Sergei Loznitsa's most haunting films. It is also one of his most pointed social critiques. In this film, we are brought to a remote train station deep in the Russian woods. It's nighttime. In the distance, we hear the clatter of locomotives. The station, a small wooden building, sits silently, surrounded only by snow and train tracks. close

In the world, there is a city-port Odessa, which was specially created as a refuge for people of different nationalities and religions. Humor is a special language that helps people from Odessa to communicate and get along with each other. Legends are spreading about Odessa's humor and accent. But - a paradox - people are constantly leaving it. It is loved, but it is left as a child leaves his mother. On the example of this city and its inhabitants, we wanted to understand - why people flee from their cities. We tried to find the answer taking pictures of Odessa citizens in Germany, Israel, Ukraine, Russia, Austria, France and other places. Michael Zhvanetskij, Roman Kartsev, Leonid Barats and Rostislav Khait Victor Loshak, Oksana Fandera, Valerij Todotovskij, Mikhail and Anatoly Kontush and many others are telling their stories and giving their opinions on what is the phenomenon of the city by the Black Sea. close

The first twelve years of the third millennium in Russia is called the period of stability. This is the time when the country is governed by Vladimir Putin. But what is the price of such stability? And isn’t it really a carefully crafted myth?
The statistics are inexorable, say the authors of the documentary “The Real Putin” – in Russia, not everything is as good as it is customary to say on central TV channels. Mortality is increasing. The gap between rich and poor is growing. Corruption has spread through the country with cancer. Officials do not hesitate to show off chic things - palaces, cars, yachts, wristwatches for tens of thousands of dollars.
The number of dollar billionaires in Russia is increasing every year, our country is among the leaders in this direction. But among those who are on the list of the richest, there is no one who would earn their capital with the help of the latest technologies. All the new Russians are people who were somehow on good terms with Vladimir Putin during his time in St. Petersburg. All of them shared among themselves national wealth – oil, gas, metals, coal, electricity. So what is the price of stability? What will happen if this stability continues for another 12 years? And that is how much Vladimir Putin is likely to remain in power. How will Russia handle this? And you and me?
The documentary “The Real Putin” was created by an initiative group of Russian citizens. close

Eisenstein shot 50 hours of footage on location in Mexico in 1931 and 32 for what would have become ¡Que viva México!, but was not able to finish the film. Following two wildly different reconstruction attempts in 1939 (Marie Seton's 'Time in the Sun') and 1979 (Grigori Alexandrov's '¡Que viva México!') Kovalov has here compiled another hypothetical version of what Eisenstein's film might have been. close

The Horse Crucified and Risen is a documentary sports film by Russian director Alexander Nevzorov.
The relationship between a man and a tamed horse was originally about violence. After all, what beast, accustomed to freedom, willingly wants to serve people? In order to control this freedom-loving animal, masters use secrets known from time immemorial, many of them are outlined in the book Preceptio Preceptibus. At different times, there were historical figures who personified one or another approach. So, Pluvinel (Gali Abdullov) became a symbol of noble attitude, and James Phyllis (Anvar Libabov) - sadism. To illustrate the historical background of the film, Nevzorov uses authentic objects of the XVII-XIX centuries. close

As with so many early films by Sokurov, this film has two dates: the first is the date of its creation (the film was then banned), the second is the date of the final edition and legal public screening. The film consists of German and Soviet archive footage of the World War II — to be exact, from the end of the war. An attempt to make a large–scale documentary on this subject had been undertaken in the Soviet cinema of the 1960s: the film — “Ordinary Fascism” — by the outstanding Soviet film–maker Mikhail Romm had become a classic retrospective investigation of fascism. But Sokurov uses the expressive power of the documentary image in an absolutely different way. He does not amass materials for a large–scale picture of Nazi crimes. close

Created by director Alexei Denisov with the participation of Fedor Bondarchuk documentary "World War I". The Suicide of Europe tells the tragic chronicle of the war years that claimed millions of lives.
The theater of hostilities during the First World War has changed its geography, but one of the bloodiest is traditionally considered the Battle of Verdun, in which hundreds of thousands of soldiers of the French army fell. What caused such massive losses? Why did European politicians start pulling the patchwork of territorial borders over each other? This and much more candidly tell the filmmakers, carefully reconstructed the events of those years with the help of unique historical and archival documents. close

Using Cuban cities as the backdrop to personal stories, the renowned documentary maker Vitaly Mansky depicts the complexity of contemporary Cuba. As the regime begins to slightly relax its iron grip, the island begins to slowly open up to the world. Despite the economic hardship, a life full of passion, temperament and energy still pulsates in Cuban cities. Food is rationed and decent living conditions is an illusion for many. The dreams of today’s senior citizens, who believed in Fidel and his communist experiment 50 years ago, have not been fully realized. Children of these revolutionaries still follow the ideals of the revolution but do not seem all that convinced. Instead young people prefer to enjoy small pleasures the regime allows for. While many Cubans look for life outside of Cuba, for tourists the island is for many reasons very special destination. Motherland or Death is the story of real life played out against the picturesque background of today’s Cuba. close

The director and screenwriter of Alexander Nevzorov's Horse Encyclopedia was, oddly enough, himself Alexander Nevzorov. Only he was able to make such a brilliant film, which tells about the history of the relationship between the horse and man, as well as the main secrets of the attractiveness of this animal, its phenomenal nobility, the ability to love and a huge mind.
The picture also shows the main misfortune of horses – their closeness to people. The director claims that these stately animals, despite the fact that they were tamed, still, as in ancient times, when they were still wild, do not like people. And this despite the true love of man for the horse and his desire to take care of it. close

The new power stations are beating like hearts to the pulse of modernisation. At gigantic expense and effort, the Soviet Union is rapidly industrialised. The state plan foresees the construction of forty power-generation centres across the country. However, the people must first be enlightened about the nature and use of electrical current. Horses and tractors, households and industry, nature and the world of work, neon signs and the construction of power stations all depend on this miraculous new source of energy. The famous Soviet director Lev Kuleshov masterfully realises this project with documentary shots, acted scenes, and lots of creative trick sequences. close
