The trip of Sorokin

The film is about the writer Vladimir Sorokin where the hero tells about his own life with the utmost frankness for the first time.

Childhood in the working settlement near Moscow, life in the workshops of underground artists, persecution by the KGB and pro-Kremlin youth organizations, love of Russian literature and extreme cold.

Poor Folk. Kabakovs.

The film-portrait of one of the most famous conceptual artists of our time, Ilya Kabakov. The history of its formation and creative path from nonconformism in the USSR to world recognition in emigration. Director Anton Zhelnov and the famous Director of Photography Mikhail Krichman ("Loveless", "Silent Souls", "The Return") visited the Kabakov family on Long Island and filmed more than 20 hours of conversations that formed the basis of the film "Poor People. Kabakovs".

Bondarchuk. Battle

The film dedicated to the 100th anniversary of Sergei Fyodorovich Bondarchuk emerges from an ordinary biopic and becomes a study of an exceptional period in the history of world cinema.

The shootings took place in the United States, Romania, England, France, and Italy.

Rock Paper Scissors

"Rock Paper Scissors." The first documentary about the legendary American publishing house "Ardis". A movie about books and freedom, about two Americans who changed the history of Russian literature.
In the 60's and 70's Soviet censorship closed the reader's access to ideologically hostile texts. Carl and Ellendea Proffer, literary critics from Michigan decided to fight it. In the basement of their own home, they founded a publishing house that published books by Nabokov, Brodsky, Sasha Sokolov, and many others. Through witnesses and participants in the events and, above all, Ellenday herself, our movie tells the story of how a small publishing house made banned voices heard not only in the West, but in the Soviet Union itself. "Rock Paper Scissors Rock" is not just a study of the past, but a path to understanding the present, when Russia is once again censored and any dissent is suppressed.
