Movie Victor Kramer "Snow show 3D" is actually a fairy tale told by the famous Russian clown Slava Polunin.
This show with the participation of Ivan Volkov, Robert Sarallov and other wonderful artists will not leave anyone indifferent: someone will perceive the picture as a lyrical memory of his childhood, someone – as a piercing tale of real loneliness; someone will simply laugh from the heart at the yellow clown in red shaggy slippers, constantly repeating his famous “Asisi”, and someone will cry at how small a person is compared to the bottomless universe. close

Documentary Jean-Michel Carre “Kursk: Submarine in Muddy Water” is dedicated to the sensational crash of a Russian submarine. The film, banned in several countries around the world, presents the version that the tragically sunken Kursk was sunk by an American torpedo.
The reason for this “foresight” was a message on the Internet resource of the newspaper “Pravda”, which appeared 10 days after the sinking of the submarine and reported that this incident almost provoked the beginning of the Third World War. Within hours, during which several confidential phone conversations between Putin and Clinton took place, the message disappeared. close

Likely in June 1897, a group of people are standing along the platform of a railway station in La Ciotat, waiting for a train. One is seen coming, at some distance, and eventually stops at the platform. Doors of the railway-cars open and attendants help passengers off and on. Popular legend has it that, when this film was shown, the first-night audience fled the café in terror, fearing being run over by the "approaching" train. This legend has since been identified as promotional embellishment, though there is evidence to suggest that people were astounded at the capabilities of the Lumières' cinématographe. close
