Film Directed by Rusty Kandiff “Stories of the Quarter” is filmed in the genre of horror and consists of four small novels, thereby reminiscent of the popular horror film “Tales from the Crypt”. Three black guys, members of one of the street gangs, find themselves in the morgue in order to meet with a drug dealer and buy another dose of heroin. But instead of buying peacefully, they get heart-warming emotions from the realization that they are in the hands of the Lord of Hell. Stories of terrible events drag the newly minted dead into a whirlpool of bloody passions, subduing their souls to the “hospitable” master of darkness. close

"In the mountains my heart" is a short Soviet film Rustam Khamdamov, based on a short story by William Saroyan. This is a small episode in the life of the citizens. This or something similar could happen in any city. This something, as a rule, does not turn upside down the life of the city, but just suddenly makes you freeze life for a while and think about something important, hearing an amazing melody.
A lonely man walked through the morning town with a music trumpet. Sometimes he played it, but nobody cared. And yet there were those who asked who he was. It turned out that he was the famous actor McGregor. There were those who fed and warmed the vagrant. He played the trumpet again in gratitude. Played so that all the townspeople, having left business, went out to listen to the magical sounds of his music. close
