Over the course of one year, this film follows the life of an ordinary Pyongyang family whose daughter was chosen to take part in Day of the Shining Star (Kim Jong-il's birthday) celebration. While North Korean government wanted a propaganda film, the director kept on filming between the scripted scenes. The ritualized explosions of color and joy contrast sharply with pale everyday reality, which is not particularly terrible, but rather quite surreal. close

Alexey Pivovarov and NTV channel present the documentary “June 22”. Fatal decisions, timed to the 70th anniversary of the beginning of the Great Patriotic War.
The film continues the military theme that Alexey Pivovarov has already developed in such films as "Second percussion. Vlasov's betrayed army", "Rzhev. Unknown Battle of Georgy Zhukov", "Brest. "Serf heroes". However, unlike previous projects, in this, in addition to recreated large-scale historical reconstructions and computer graphics, which allows, along with newsreels, better to imagine the events of those years, there are some features. The most important thing is that in the making of the film "June 22." Fatal decisions were also taken by German historians and journalists, whose views on the causes of the outbreak of the war may differ somewhat from those adopted in official Soviet history.
So how did the Soviet Union become completely unprepared for war on June 22, 1941? Is it true that Stalin believed Hitler and rejected any reports from Soviet intelligence, which was claimed to have given the exact date of the attack months before the war began? Authors of the film "June 22". Fatal decisions trace the whole chain of events that began in 1938, with the Munich Treaty, and led to the beginning of one of the bloodiest wars in world history.
The original documents of that era will be read in the film actor Mikhail Efremov. close

The documentary project The Term was conceived in May 2012. When the directing trio commenced mapping the Russian sociopolitical landscape, Vladimir Putin had just settled into the Kremlin for his third term. The original experimental format of “documentary bulletins,” which were published daily online, allowed for wide-ranging content; in the feature film version, however, the filmmakers focused solely on the members of various opposition groups. Nevertheless, the work’s neutral position remains and viewers have to interpret the objectively presented situations for themselves. The main characteristics of this strongly authentic movie include close contact with the protagonists, precise editing, and an effectively controlled release of information. close

In history, he left a bright trace of the man who “gave free rein” to the Soviet people. He grew out of the “Khrushchev thaw” and at all stages of his career, rising to the very heights of power, remained true to his belief that the Soviet system can make its citizens free. Documentary film "Mikhail Gorbachev:" He came to give us freedom" - reflection Leonid Parfenov about the personality of Mikhail Gorbachev, about his deeds and deeds and about the role he played in the history of our country.
Asked what goals Gorbachev saw in the reformation he was pursuing, whether the collapse of the Soviet Union was inevitable, and how Mikhail Sergeyevich managed to preserve his dignity by leaving power, Mikhail Gorbachev: He came to give us freedom" tries to understand the main thing - how did the Stavropol guy grow up in himself and carry his inner freedom throughout his life and share it with all citizens of the country? And yet there was so much will that many of us even thought it was too much. Freedom, for which most citizens did not fight, was gratuitously gained and just as gratuitously left. What does the “freedom giver” think of it today? close

“Bread for Stalin: Stories of the Dekulakized” is a documentary program by Alexei Pivovarov. Author of projects such as "Second Drum. Vlasov's loyal army and "Brest." Serf heroes" Pivovarov refers to another tragic page in the history of our country – the period of dekulakization and collectivization.
Millions of families in the Soviet Union were affected in one way or another by this dramatic process, as a result of which a stratum of strong rural owners was destroyed as a class. The country was building a new life – “great construction sites of the century” like Magnitka or Gorky Automobile Plant, the USSR was turning from an agrarian power into an industrial one. But the price paid by the citizens was extremely high.
The film “Bread for Stalin: Stories of the Dekulaks”, which was filmed both in Russia and in Ukraine, Kazakhstan and Belarus, reconstructs historical events and gives evidence of those who were somehow affected by collectivization. The program is attended by Alexei Serebryakov, Chulpan Khamatova, Boris Nevzorov. close
