The prophet Elijah is one of the greatest in the history of religion. His life is amazingly intertwined with the fate of a very earthly man - the Russian philosopher Ivan Alexandrovich Ilyin.
Like the prophet, Ivan Ilyin lived in the days of idolatry, as well as carried the faith in himself and called the people to turn to the true faith. And for his labors he was banished, then forgotten and died in foreign lands. There is no prophet in his own country.
The film “Russian philosopher Ivan Ilyin” is not just a story about this brilliant philosopher, a man in love with Russia, endowed with a strong spirit and a great heart. The whole film is like Ilyin’s dialogue with the author of the film, Nikita Mikhalkov, for whom Ilyin and his worldview are close and understandable. That is why the image of Ivan Ilyin, which is drawn in the film, seems so bright and vivid. 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

The film “Me and Others” is an updated version of Felix Sobolev’s film “Me and Others”, created in 1971. The authors, as in the case of the original, undertake the study of conformal behavior, drawing even more striking conclusions.
When we talk about a crowd that can be controlled as a single organism, we habitually think that we have nothing to do with it, because, in our deep conviction, we are not part of the crowd. And yet we are part of society. As with every citizen of this society, in our case, manipulations with consciousness are also carried out, advertising, technology, PR are acting on us. At the same time, one should not forget, the authors of the film “Me and Others” remind that any control of a person’s consciousness should be carried out with his permission. It depends on us whether we accept the opinion of others as our own, however absurd and meaningless it may be. 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 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

A curious documentary film of 1997, in which the master of Russian cinematography Alexei Uchitel (“The Walk”) explores the concept of “elite”. Who should be considered the highest strata of society and what unites these people? The author tries to answer these questions, which are often not as simple as it seems at first glance. Russia, 1997. The political and economic situation in the country is changing at an alarming rate. No one can predict what will happen tomorrow, but people are not ready to go back to the past. Against the background of this instability, the elite of the country is changing: many famous and rich people appear, whose names no one heard until yesterday. Politicians, pop stars, wives of oligarchs, aspiring rockers – who of them can really rank themselves among the elite of the country, and who is a “one-day butterfly” that no one will remember in a couple of months? close
