It’s a kind of provocation against the present. «Democracy with adjectives», the lack of
real pluralism, a dominant role of «super-elite» in government, strict media censorship?
These methods have been tried in the country’s history ... The authors appeal to the successful experience of great Russian reformers: Empress Catherine II, Prime Minister Sergei
Witte, the first secretary of CPSU Central Committee Nikita Khrushchev. Gathered together
on an imaginary meeting, they provide advices and recommendations for the sake of Russia, applicable to current modernization and on the eve of presidential elections of 2012.
To the 300th Anniversary of Cabinet

Saint-Petersburg is called now Northern Venice then Palmyra of the North. Everybody
knows Venice and understands a comparison of the river and channel city with SaintPetersburg. But Palmyra of the North left only the name and dim memories. And meanwhile
destinies of these cities are alike in something…

All representatives of the high society
that lived in St.Petersburg knew about this
Emperor’s route and obstinately tried to
catch the attention of Emperor Alexander
the First.
It’s a philosophically historical parable
about relationships between the authorities
and those who had to entertain them.
A clown can become the king too – the
king of fools.

Nowadays, in the time of total advertising and aggressive video sequence, this calm and thoughtful
movie, brings you into the new reality. The film portrays High Priests of the Russian Orthodox Church.
What matters is love, modesty and spiritual purity rather than earthy power or glory. We can cast a
look at our recent and medieval history through fates of the people who reached sainthood and
gained gratefulness of the future generations. More importantly, their lives are analyzed by the man
who recently became the top church hierarch – patriarch Kirill. The film portrays Russian high priests:
Piotr, Alexiy, Iona, Makary, Philip, Yermogen, Tikhon, Sergy, Alexiy, Pimen, Alexiy the Second…
The film was shot in the Assumption Cathedral of the Moscow Kremlin, the Donskoi
monastery, the Elokhovsky Patriarch Cathedral as well as other Russian temples.

In 1991 an emblem of old Russia – a double eagle – got back to the state shield
of Russian Federation. Many people were surprised: some were glad, others were indignant.
But the fact remains: the double eagle tied by itself the centuries-old succession of national
transformations on the territory of our country.
What does the double eagle mean? Why was it the main emblem of Russian State over
centuries? Why did it become single-headed bird now and spread his wings or fold them then?
Everything has its own explanations. Just such plots define the contents and graphic
treatment of the picture.

of 33-years-old leader to the laboratory later become Alferov’s.

In a casual manner this film acquaints the audience with etology, science that explores
all kinds of animal and human innate behavior. To cut it short, it explores instincts. Children
that are engaged in etology are choosing the subject of the lecture love.
Zhores Ivanovich Alferov recollects, creates, meditates and assures that science is a real
“engine for progress”. He have been devoted himself to science more then 50 years.
Spectators will discover for themselves another, unknown Alferov. Few people know that
his complete surrender to science was born, perhaps, during the last talk with his elder
brother…

St.-Petersburg bridges are more than mere links between the riverbanks, they are also splendid pieces
of architecture. In 2004 a new bridge across the Neva was constructed – a non-drawn cable bridge.
The Bolshoy Obukhovsky cable bridge is nearly 3 kilometers long and 126 meters high and it is
a key element of the St.-Petersburg Ring Road. Its construction is unique in terms of engineering.
This large-scale project raised some concerns. Some citizens worried that with this new
structure the city would miss some of its charm and beauty.
Now the bridge has been built. Its light and elegant shape is in harmony with the city landscape.
The new structure symbolizes going forward and progress of the 21st century St.-Petersburg.

The film is about life and work of an outstanding Russian scholar, author and written by
Victor Shklovsky. He began as a futurist, and together with his friends Vladimir Mayakovsky
and David Burlyuk “threw Pushkin off the ship of modernity”. Like any creative person of that
time he had to choose whether to accept the revolution or not. Everything in Shklovsky’s life
was a scandal, a challenge to traditions. The film’s aim is to show the brightest moments of this
life tightly interlaced with the life of the XXth century. And the authors of the film could by no
means neglect the love affairs described by Shklovsky himself in his “Letters Not About Love”.

This film tells the audience about the life and scientific efforts of a remarkable person
– Vladimir Vernadsky, who combined the professions of a geologist, agrologist, biogeochemist, physicist, radiologist, mineralogist, crystallographer, ecologist, philosopher, science historian, pedagogue, science initiator, political figure, and an advocate of a strong
state. The fact that some of these disciplines were created either by him or with his active
participation brackets Vernadsky with such geniuses as Aristotle, Avicenna, Leonardo da
Vinci, Mihail Lomonosov. In terms of his cosmic views and the feeling of unity between
the man and the world, he might be compared to a Biblical prophet as well.

the dispersion of light, the nature of gravity and inertia, the birth and annihilation of masses
of particles.

Church bells have always been admired in Russia. Listening to the bells ringing people
sought spiritual comfort as well as cure from diseases. So what happened to us and to our
country what made us destroy the churches and silence the bells?
Is there a spiritual or genetic memory? Can it be possessed by a nation on the whole
or by a person individually? What happened in the late 20th century when the Russian
Orthodox Church was revived confirms it. While talking about bell ringing, the film authors
also paid attention to scientific research done in this field.
Scenes from “Andrey Rublev” directed by A. Tarkovsky have been used in the film.
It also includes chronicles and interviews with medics and scientists which will definitely
be of great interest for the audience.

It’s exactly Moscow and not St.Petersburg that is a city of stone lions in Russia, according
to a widespread view. Besides, Moscow lions differ from the St. Petersburg ones the same
as those two cities differ from each other. You will hardly meet Moscow lions on quays and
on big squares – and though some of them are rather famous (such as the lion sculpture
in Tverskaya Street near the Revolution Museum), most of them are hiding in the shade
of mansions or in distant streets. The tale about some of the most interesting lion pairs in Moscow
will be built in the form of a detective investigation. From archive materials and historical data
of the 19th century, we learn what building the lions accompany, and then we start the search.

Grace and Disgrace of Fedot Shubin
This film is about art and life of Fedot Shubin - one of the greatest representatives of the
enlightenment classicism in the Russian art of the XIIIth century.
Palaces of the Russian Museum
Vvedensky. God Might Be Around There
The film is about the owners and the history of building of the four palaces of the Russian
museum: Stroganovsky palace, Marble palace, Mikhailovsky (Engineers’) castle and Mikhailovsky
palace.
Alexander Vvedensky used to call himself “the authority of nonsense”. Behind his cold
appearance and affected cynicism he tried to hide his vulnerability and naked, “skinless”
feeling of reality. The world created by him was scary and bewitching, piercing and subtle.
Fear of the absurdity of life and death – “The world died out. The world was slaughtered,
it is a cock”. And a wild guess – “God might be around there”.

The film is based on Boris Pasternak’s novel “Yuri Zhivago” which was nominated for
the Nobel Prize and thus caused a scandal - the Soviet government suppressed the book.
Yet, the film, as we can see it from the title, is dedicated not to the novel, but to its main
character and his personality. The authors try to recreate a living portrait of Yury Zhivago
based on open discussion with researches of Pasternak’s works.
Kharms. The Other Line
The film will reveal secrets about
art and life of Daniil Kharms – one of
the most striking members of avantgarde
grouping of Russian post-Futurist poets
called OBERIU. Kharms was both exquisite
and foolish, vice and absurdity coexisted
in his life. In order to understand this,
one has to indulge into the life of poetry
of OBERIU. Such approach is chosen for
this film to uncover Kharms’s personality
and views on life in the best way.

responsibility alien cattle - the main material value of a peasant family, on which their
survival is often depended at that times.
Pastoralism preserved archaic forms and a ritual system up to the end of XX century.

Such notion as “rubbish” doesn’t exist in nature at all. It’s exceptionally a human invention.
But what is rubbish? A valuable resource, capable to solve ecological and economical
problems? A “culture layer” of civilization? Where does it get into after we take it away out
of borders of our living space...
This film gives food for thought and helps to understand the essence of this problem.

The second film of the series is about the scientific research in the Kara Sea studying the
function of icebergs near Newfound Land in the process of neutralization of the nuclear waste.
Do you know where the Great Lakes are? Certainly, in America – everybody says.
American film-makers made them internationally known. But few people ever think of
the Great lakes of Europe that are mostly located in Russia. The film about Ladoga lake tells
us what everybody has to know today. The Ladoga coasts are really a geological book of the
Earth with great landscapes and unique nature.
Hopefully, our film will make people think again whether we are living our lives and
planning our future correctly and whether we should try to save Ladoga, this valuable
nature reserve now, before it’s too late.
The film addresses people of different age groups, primarily the young audience.
The film was shot in different parts of the Ladoga region.

it called «sea magpie»?

People swim to their homeland. And the homeland is on the sea bottom. There they
were born and there are tombs of their forefathers. The first film “Wide is the sea” was made

What are their fates? Yegor was the first white whale in Russia, which began to act in a
dolphin show, becoming the brightest impression of childhood for thousands of children.
After twenty years of living next to people he ran away ...
While studying the history of Yegor, we’ll watch unique animals - white polar whales and
learn their habitats in the wild.
They are considered to be the smartest creatures on our planet, along with horses, dogs,
monkeys, but, perhaps, we know the least just about white whales, Russian whales.

It is hard to imagine two more different from each other beings than the Bat (The Mouse) and
Sunny Bunny (Zaya). Zaya due to his «solar nature» is a famous optimist. He looks at the world
positively. Night life in solitude has left its imprint on the character of the Mouse. She is «unfriendly»,
prone to depression, but romantic and dreamy at the same time. Meeting with Zaya has changed
the Mouse, because when you are treated with warmth, the world no longer seems so hostile.

Based on the fairy tale by Oscar Wilde.

loves her so much and wants to unite with her, he decides to send off his soul. A preacher chased
him off, but a young witch agreed to help him. The young fisherman sends off his soul without
giving it his heart. Having traveled for some time, his soul returned to him and though it united
with him by deceiving him first, the young fisherman’s heart still belonged with the Sea Maiden.

A crazy guy named Snap and his girlfriend wandering around between solar systems
don’t think that you should always be alert in the digital future. Opening the entry into
the virtual reality they don’t realize that it will be hard to leave. What they should know
is that fear, danger and tears are very real.
The swing squeak… ringing children’s laughter… the gramophone in the yard and
the couples dancing nearby… frisking house cats… Childhood is a happy, carefree time!
But disaster is already sitting on your window like a crow. And soon the cruel wind of adult
life will whirl you like an autumn leaf. The film relates to the thirties of the last century –
the time of repressions and mass shooting. We will see this time by the eyes of the political
prisoner that came back to his home yard many years after.
