With unprecedented access, this documentary looks into the hidden world of one of Russia's most impenetrable and remote institutions - a maximum security prison exclusively for murderers. Deep inside the land of the gulags, this is the end of the line for some of Russia's most dangerous criminals - 260 men who have collectively killed nearly 800 people. The film delves deep into the mind and soul of some of these prisoners. In brutally frank and uncensored interviews the inmates speak of their crimes, life and death, redemption and remorselessness, insanity and hope. The film tracks them though their unrelenting days over several months, lifting the veil on one of Russia's most secretive subcultures to reveal what happens when a man is locked up in a tiny cell for 23 hours every day, for life. A startling insight into inscrutable minds and the forbidding world they have been condemned to. (Storyville) 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
