A visual essay on the forgotten parts of Eastern Europe. The outskirts here are a Slovakian town in the Tatra Mountains. Though censored for 17 years, Dusan Hanáks poetic visual essay is not a political or even social film. It goes to far deeper and more fundamental levels of human experience. Inspired by the photographs of Martin Martinek, the films power lies in its unusual portraits of people whose raw visual beauty radiates from their very souls. close

Under the premise of documenting for the sake of preservation the various forms of Georgian religious chanting, a distinct kind of sonorous psalmody passed over from generation to generation, what Otar Iosseliani captures in reality is the snapshot of a not-so-distant past that coexists with the world we might know yet transports us to what used to be. close

Kingdom of animals is an unknown territory. We are like foreigners in here. We don’t understand the language of this country. They say, once lived a person who could talk to the animals, King Solomon. All peoples have fairytales with animals speaking with each other and with humans. In amazement, we’re looking at the world which considered long discovered. Animal language. It’s not human language, but special, sometimes completely unexpected ways of communication between animals… close

In the documentary TV movie "Irakli Andronikov". For the first time on stage, Andronikov tells the audience about his youth, when he just began to master his talent as an imitator and work as a lecturer at the Leningrad Philharmonic. In addition, the critic, literary critic and master of oral story in one person shares memories of literary critic and musicologist Sollertinsky I.I., writers Tolstoy A.N. and M. Gorky and artists Kachalov V.I. and Ostuzhev A.A.
It was in this film Irakli Andronikov first admitted that the main qualities of his character from early childhood were love of music and shyness, and that it all began with them. Heraclius joked that no one now believes in his shyness, and even he sometimes begins to doubt it, but no one doubts his love for music. close
Composed entirely of still photographs shot by Marker himself over the course of his restless travel through twenty-six countries, If I Had Four Dromedaries more
Composed entirely of still photographs shot by Marker himself over the course of his restless travel through twenty-six countries, If I Had Four Dromedaries stages a probing, at times agitated, search for the meanings of the photographic image, in the form of an extended voiceover conversation and debate between the "amateur photographer" credited with the images and two of his colleagues. Anticipating later writings by Roland Barthes and Susan Sontag (who professed her admiration for the film) If I Had Four Dromedaries reveals Marker's instinctual understanding of the secret rapport between still and moving image. close
