This is a passage between two faces, each the same, yet different. Bibicha’s face first appears in the dark, her eyes open and expression impassive, only her heavy breathing betraying the strain she feels. She will withstand the strain and take the vow of silence, retreating to her grandmother’s house for the 40 days to pass. The house and the landscape outside at least offer Bibicha certain sensory distractions: the taste of honey, the texture of a wall, an eye-catching bedspread, the view out over a sea of cloud, water fizzling on the stove. But it is not just her under strain, as her aunt’s frantic text messaging, her grandmother’s rueful acknowledgement of the stories of marital strife on the radio and her little cousin’s illegitimate status bear witness to. Four generations of women in the complete absence of men, yet all marked by their presence, the similarity of their fates blurring together different times and customs. close

The documentary film directed by Sergey Zabolotny “Chernobyl 3828” is the confession of a man who was destined to go through the most difficult trials that fell to the lot of the liquidators of the Chernobyl accident. These people shut down the exploded reactor, built a sarcophagus over it, entering the most dangerous radiation zone and receiving deadly doses of radiation every second. There were 3,828 people.
... The shift lasted only two minutes. Two minutes of work in the most dangerous zone of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant. Where the background radiation was almost 8000 μR / hour. Several hundred people will pass through this deadly zone, sometimes staying there for only a few seconds. But the seconds added up in hours, hours a day, and the reactor's toxic breath weakened.
The story of those events is told by their participant, scout-dozimerist Valery Starodumov. The film “Chernobyl 3828” used footage of the filming of the cinematographer Yuri Bardakov, who filmed the work of the liquidators in the summer and autumn of 1986.
The film is dedicated to the day of the liquidator of the consequences of the Chernobyl accident, which is celebrated on December 14 – the day when in 1986 it was published that the construction of protective structures over the fourth power unit was completed. close

"Three brothers live in a small village somewhere in Kazakhstan. Nearby is the small station, where an elderly man, who has had the nickname Klein since he was in a concentration camp in the Second World War, rules the roost. ... The children ask inquisitively about the nature of his activities, as nothing seems to happen. He tells them that he supplies a local military base with material. Klein starts telling them different stories, for instance about the beautiful lake where the officers spend their spare time and where life is as beautiful as the women. The picture he sketches of this lake is so attractive to the three brothers and their friends that they resolve to go there. They know from the old man that it will cost money, because life is dear. Tri brata is not a children's film, but a fairy-tale about today's world with its military aircraft on one side and an elderly man with his railway material on the other." - IFFR close
