Two preschoolers decided that at night the trams go somewhere to rest and if you sit in the late evening on the tram, you can go to another city. On the tram they met different people and everyone was interesting. It was also interesting to watch the life of a large city, sparkling with evening lights. At the last stop, the friends got off and found themselves on the shore of some reservoir. The boys lay down on the shore to sleep in a sleeping bag specially captured by them for the trip. When they woke up in the morning, they saw a policeman who had come to swim on a horse. The boys dropped his uniform in the water. The policeman figured out who did this and found the guys. He took his clothes out of the water and took the boys home on a horse.

Likely in June 1897, a group of people are standing along the platform of a railway station in La Ciotat, waiting for a train. One is seen coming, at some distance, and eventually stops at the platform. Doors of the railway-cars open and attendants help passengers off and on. Popular legend has it that, when this film was shown, the first-night audience fled the café in terror, fearing being run over by the "approaching" train. This legend has since been identified as promotional embellishment, though there is evidence to suggest that people were astounded at the capabilities of the Lumières' cinématographe. close

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

The cartoon “Canterville Ghost” is a kind of film adaptation of the work of O. Wilde, decorated with the voices of venerable actors. A wealthy American family acquires a castle in England with more than three hundred years of history. The owners of the castle explain that the ghost of Simon Canterville lives in it. The British consider it their duty to warn new owners, even knowing that it may scare them away. But the news caused the pragmatic head of the family completely different thoughts. He took the ghost as an extra commodity for which he would have to pay. The astonished owner replied that he could take the ghost for free.
Every morning, Americans find a red spot on the floor. The father of the family tries to bring it out, but the next day it reappears. The ghost is trying to intimidate the owners. He rattles chains at night, but the new owner of the castle simply complains that he prevents them from sleeping and offers lubrication to make the chains less noisy. Children, seeing a ghost, are also not afraid, and begin a fun hunt for him. And no matter what the ghost does, it turns out that the twins give him much more inconvenience than he gives them.
An annoyed Simon Canterville recalls the old days when the castle was inhabited by lords and noble ladies who were so easy to scare. And the new owners don't take anything. One day he meets the young daughter of an American couple, who learns that it was a ghost who stole her colors in order to paint a stain. Having communicated with the ghost, she is imbued with sympathy for him and even the fact that he killed his wife, the girl is not particularly embarrassed, because she was bad herself and did not know how to cook. At the end of the film, the girl helps the ghost find freedom, which he is incredibly happy about. But the father of the family is upset, and he has his reasons for this.
Interesting facts
During the creation of the cartoon, the technology of translucent pouring or “blurring” was first used.
Production designer Lana Azarch admitted to a press source that the work on the Canterville Ghost project was not combined with any ideological issues related to Britain. In order to make the castle as similar as possible to the real one, she studied the “spirit of the country” in libraries.
The cartoon “Canterville Ghost” was the third adaptation of the work of O. Wilde. In 1944 and 1964, two feature films were created on the same theme. close
