Bruce Lee, who by nature was not an athlete, took only a few years to shake the foundations of Hollywood and create a fundamentally new kind of cinema. He managed to achieve extraordinary speed of movement and develop phenomenal coordination, became a legend in the field of martial arts and caused many imitators in film and television. The great kung fu master did not live to see his thirty-threeth birthday. His death was a shock to all of Hong Kong, and no one could have imagined that this man, who was perfecting his body day and night, could die. In 1993, Bruce Lee’s son Brandon died on the set. Although his death was classified as an accident, most believe it was not accidental. Many began to talk about the curse that allegedly lay on Lee and, in the end, overtook not only Bruce himself, but also his son.

The creators of the documentary “Engineer: Steve Wozniak” turn to the life story of Steve Wozniak, co-founder of Apple Corporation.

One of the fathers of the PC revolution, who created the once most popular Apple II computer on the planet, he, along with Steve Jobs, made a huge contribution to the development of the company, a contribution that cannot be underestimated. The main milestones of Wozniak’s biography in the film appear in the same sequence in which Wozniak himself recalled his life, restoring fragments after memory loss. He lost his memory due to anterograde amnesia, a disease manifested after a light aircraft crash in which the engineer suffered in 1981. close

Fellow poets, excited ladies, the love of his life, Marina Basmanova, two psychiatric hospitals, KGB interrogations, a People's Court, prison, exile, forced emigration. All of this was Brodsky's Leningrad. The biography, which was written for, in Akhmatova's words, "our red-head". On the fourth of June 1972, when the plane carrying Brodsky took off from Pulkovo airport, this biography ended. And a new life began that almost no one in his homeland is aware of. Russia, America, Italy, Sweden, Finland - the filmmakers have traced the journey of their hero, perhaps the most well-traveled of all Russian writers. The places, that became his biography.

The days when ZIL products were in demand throughout the country are long gone. For twenty years now, the factory has barely been alive, and the employees devoted to it are literally holding on to their last strength, trying to preserve the viability of the enterprise, while everything they do seems useless to anyone.
And now, two decades later, the plant again receives a government order - the Ministry of Defense instructed to make three limousines for the upcoming Victory Parade. Unheard of for an enterprise where life almost froze. The authors of the film “The Last Limousine” begin their story with how the workers of the plant enthusiastically take up business. close
