SYNOPSYS When the world is in danger, we call upon superheroes. They are stronger, faster, and smarter
than us ordinary folks, and they are ready to sacrifice themselves to ensure our safety. But what happens
when there are no superheroes nearby, and the world’s fate depends on a bunch of egotistical, irresponsible
oddballs in their twenties? Geek, Swanky, Hellcat, Rocker, and Loserette have a night of their lives at a
mega-awesome party under the thrilling title The Apocalypse; but when they wake up the next morning,
they discover a completely different apocalypse – the real one. The city has turned into a deserted pile
of smoldering ruins, and our guys can’t for the life of them remember what happened last night.

SYNOPSYS An adventure film, with dramatic and thriller elements set against the backdrop
of palaces and the noble view of the Russian capital, The Duelist centers on Yakovlev, a retired
officer, who returns to St. Petersburg from a long exile. While in the city, he fights as a duelist’s
representative. (Nineteenth-century Russian duel law allowed for a duelist to be replaced by
any one person.) Though Yakovlev fights for money, he also seeks honor and revenge against
those who disgraced him, therein, challenging the Russian Providence. Yakovlev fearlessly plays
with destiny as an example of traditional romantic characters from the Russian Classics.
ALEXEY MIZGIREV was discovered as a young
and promising director at the Russian film festival
Kinotavr where in 2007 Mizgirev won The Best Debut
award for his film Hard-Hearted. In the years between
Mizgirev directed two other feature films, both of
which were very positively received at European
film festivals – he won the The Best Director at the
Locarno Film Festival for his film Tambourine, drum
and his third film The Convoy was featured in the
program of the Berlin Film Festival. Seeing the talent
of the young director and sensing his potential, the
producers of The Duelist offered him a chance to
make a high-end genre film, which would seamlessly
blend the artistic vision of Mizgirev with the visual
attraction of the high budget adventure film.
DIRECTOR’S STATEMENT
The Duelist is an exciting, thrilling and compelling story
that will resonate with modern audiences”. “Scale
of production, compelling characters, technological
tools and attention to historical context, combined
with the breathtaking presentation of The IMAX
Experience® all make The Duelist an engrossing film
that will transport audiences to the unexpected and
intriguing world of 19th-century Saint Petersburg.

SYNOPSYS The senior fishery control inspector Trofim Rusanov, elderly, morose and unsociable, considers
all people surrounding him criminals and is unforgiving of even the slightest deviation from fishing rules
and norms of humanity . During his usual route across lakes Trofim gets into conflict with local fisherman’s
and loses his boat. On his 20 km way home around the huge lake he finds abandoned child in hunters lodge.
His 5 days quest through the forest and search after that for guilty mother of the child turns out a quest
for Trofim’s soul . He finds his own soul and maybe for the first time in his life feels compassion ….

The theme of the film is – the revival of spirituality
comes through compassion. “Do not judge lest you be
judged!” The main character has to go through such
revival. As the soul of Trofim Rusanov, an unpleasant,
sullen, rigorous fishing inspector, awakes to goodness
and he begins to heed the voice of his conscience, the
audience unwittingly starts to be imbued with empathy
for him. His path towards the revival of his spiritual
life, mercy and compassion starts with the “Find” –
a small warm living creature, a newborn, found in a
tiny house deep in the forest. Trofim didn’t manage to
save another person’s life, but the incident revived and
mellowed his soul, and aroused sympathy for others…

SYNOPSYS There is a Kingdom lying amid dried up rivers and torrid forests, where birds do not sing,
goats give no milk and people live in constant fear and misery. But this was not always the case, and
many people still remember the time when the Kingdom was under the rule of the wise King. A magic
elixir gushed forth from fountains everywhere, and nobody knew anything of trouble or starvation.
However, eighteen years have passed since the cunning and greedy Ministers came to
power as result of a palace coup. The King disappeared without trace, and the Ministers
took control of the magic elixir, declaring to the people that its source had dried up.
Ruling on behalf of the young Princess, the Ministers imposed extortionate taxes and duties on the people,
sparing no one, not even the old, nor mothers with large families. Disobedience to the new laws is subject to
severe punishment, and nobody dares to argue with the ‘King’s Guards‘. Nobody, that is, except for the famous
brigand, Troubin Hood who robs the Ministers and distributes the booty among the poor. And he is helped by
his faithful friends: Sigmund the Cat, Baskerville the Dog, Petruccio the Rooster and Gretchen the Jenny.
While the residents of the Kingdom spread legends about him, and the Ministers are ready to pay any price
for his head, all Troubin Hood wants is to restore prosperity and the glorious past to the Kingdom.

SYNOPSYS Zhenya is a workaholic magazine editor; Stas is a high-class photographer. She is full of
ambitions; his life, in turn, lacks purpose or any particular challenges. Zhenya aspires to become her
magazine’s editor-in-chief – and she has what it takes, except for one thing… she must find herself a
husband, ASAP! The publishing company’s shareholders have declared that a magazine with a family
audience must be edited by a family woman. Zhenya has only one week to fulfill the requirements.
Stas volunteers to help her, since, as a fashionable photographer, he knows quite a few eligible
bachelors that would gladly play the part of Zhenya’s husband. But, all of a sudden, Zhenya realizes
that she is not as shrewd as she thought, and Stas is surprised to discover that he is in love.
Producer of the movie Fyodor Bondarchuk:
“Must Marry Urgently” is the second Art
Pictures Studio and WeiT Media joint project
this year, and we are very glad to work
again together with our partners”.
Producer of the movie Timur Weinstein:
“I am sure that after our movie in the Russian
cinema there will be a brilliant cinema couple,
whose relations on the screen it will be interesting
to viewer to watch in the future not once”.
Producer of the movie Dmitry Rudovsky:
“Initially this movie was conceived as a story
about Yulya and Alexey: true love of this beautiful
young pair in lives and their actor’s talent became
a basis for the excellent romantic comedy”.

March 1965. In the heat of the Cold War, the USA and the USSR are competing for supremacy
in space. What both superpowers aim for in this race, is to be the first to have a man walk
in outer space. To accomplish that, no price is too high and no risk is too great.
Now it’s up to the unlikely duo of a seasoned war veteran and a hot-headed test-pilot to fulfill this
mission. Two men in a tiny spaceship, without proper testing, facing the complete unknown…
They were supposed to do what no man has done before – and no man imagined what would happen next…

with his daughter Alisa, who grew up among the test tubes and lab devices. The formula he has finally invented
is going to change the world! Without him noticing, Alisa has grown up and no longer wants to do things his
way. To return everything back to normal – his body, his daughter and, finally, his good old familiar life –
Salazar is forced to venture out into the place he has avoided like the plague all these years: the real world.
ART DIRECTOR’S STATEMENT
Igor Kovalyov - When I m asked by friend if
I`m happy working on Alisa project I answer:
Definitly - YES! The team is all in love with
the project working 24 hours a day. The most
complicate character for me was Dupper – he
had to be cute, to be alien, not an earth like
and we did it, children like it. For me the most
important the series to be in audience demand.

SYNOPSYS Spring of 1941. German engineer Hans and his colleagues arrive
on a business trip to the USSR glass manufacturing factory.
It was the very time when following the signing of the Soviet-Nazi German Pact (23 August, 1939) and the
German–Soviet Boundary and Friendship Treaty (28 September, 1939), the USSR and Nazi Germany concluded
several bilateral Commercial Agreements in 1939 – 1941. Thereunder the Soviet Union was to deliver the raw
materials to Germany, and Germany was to supply the latest industrial machinery and technologies to the USSR.
Hans’s story is really dramatic. This is a foreboding story of the approaching war, a story about perturbation of a man who does not realize what is happening with him. As if the first shell were already exploded inside of him.
ALEXANDER MINDADZE was born in Moscow in
1949 and is considered as one of the most acclaimed
scriptwriters and directors in Russia. More than 20 of
his screenplays have been filmed since 1975. Early in his
career he teamed up with acclaimed Russian director
Vadim Abdrashitov, with whom he collaborated on
eleven films over several decades. The film PLUMBUM
was awarded with golden medal at the Venice Film
Festival in 1987, and the Mindadze-Abdrashitov duo
won the Silver Bear at the Berlin Film Festival in 1995
for the film A PLAY FOR A PASSENGER. In 2007 his
feature film debut as director, SOAR, was premiered at
Venice IFF. This film received two awards, including the
film critics award for best debut film in Russia. Second
feature film written and directed by Alexander Mindadze
INNOCENT SATURDAY was premiered at Berlin IFF in
2011. Mindadze is the unique Russian scriptwriter who
was awarded with prestigious ENNIO FLAIANO PRIZE
and the SILVER PEGASUS from the Italian Academy of
Culture for “Literature’s contribution to the cinema.”.
★
DIRECTOR’S STATEMENT My good Hans offers
a reflection on the war, which is far cry from
the officially approved position. Inside which, as
everyone knows, only purely patriotic approach
to the topic is possible. And Mindadze`s film
is structured in a complicated way, that gives
alarming projections of the present day ...

SYNOPSYS
DIRECTOR’S STATEMENT
The film «Rings of the World» is not just about the first Russian winter Olympics. Pain, fear, desire, the
joy of victory and the bitterness of defeat: the official film of the Sochi 2014 Olympic Games, created
by decree of the International Olympic Committee (Lausanne), gives the greatest world champions a
human face. Gripping shots taken during the events alternate with interviews of worldwide legends
in winter sports, who express their thoughts on the values of the Olympic games, the philosophy
of the sport, the ever-changing balance of femininity and masculinity in sport and in society…
My goal is to make a film about intellect in sports.
People often say that sport is about muscles. I think
modern sport is about intellect. The forefather of
the modern Olympic movement Pierre de Coubertin
believed that the idea of Olympism has the
capacity to unite people, counteract international
conflicts, aggression that builds up in society.
Coubertin was a true humanist. This is definitely
lacking in our life. There was a time when writer
Alexander Solzhenitsyn wrote that humanism
died in the 20th century. I believe that humanity is
not yet lost, and it can find a way that won’t lead
to a dead end. That’s what our film is about.

SYNOPSYS Based on Sergey Minaev’s best-selling novel of the same name.Fancy clubs, concrete-and-glass offices, sport cars,
VIP parties, recreational drugs, alcohol, girls for every taste, Forbes-list celebrities, queues to bars… This is Moscow in the early 2000s.
And this is Max, the protagonist, a 30-year-old top manager. Successful, smart, wealthy. The typical competitor in that endless race
under the motto Enjoy Life to the Fullest, where the focus is on the journey rather than on the destination. There is no time to stop and
think. Life is flashing by is too fast for that. In the nearest future, Max hopes to head the Russian branch of a major international bank.
And in the meanwhile, to keep boredom at bay, he becomes a co-owner of a new nightclub, starts an affair with a model, and makes it
to the top of the society column in the papers. This is the new hero of our time. The king of the hill. He is certain of that. Too certain.
Max Andreyev tries to turn over a new leaf, living on an island in South-East Asia. But certain
circumstances force him to go back home, where he faces a difficult choice.

DIRECTOR’S STATEMENT Initially we planned to
make a trilogy, rather than a sequel.
For me this film is an attempt to repeat, but to
develop the story of the main hero, showing what
happens after. In Dukhless 2 Max is completely
different: he thinks differently, he has new
friends, everything around is different – in his
life, as well as in the country and in the world.
Despite the modern and trendy context of the story
we tried to focus on serious topics.
The name itself Dukhless (Soulless) determines
the semantic direction of the picture. Our hero
is trying to understand himself, it happens with
people not only in their teens, but also at more
mature age. We were interested to see how
we all changed, how changed the main actor –
now he is not only an actor perfoming the role,
but a person with his own certain message.

a mentor – Leonid Zinchenko, who’s a severe and scrupulous pilot-in-command, and a colleague
and co-pilot - unapproachable beauty Aleksandra. Their relations are quite complicated, but between
life and death when the ground crumbles under the feet - the sky is the only way to escape and
Guschin goes through his paces. Only by working together the crew can save hundreds of lives.
He graduated from the Faculty of Journalism of
the Lomonosov Moscow State University. Later he
graduated from the correspondence department of
the Faculty of Screenwriting and film studies of the
Russian State University of Cinematography (VGIK).

Night. Friday in 1991. He has also directed the
following films: The Star, Wolfhound and Legend №17.

screenwriter with two State Prizes for his work.
DIRECTOR’S STATEMENT It’s a story of our
contemporaries – commercial flight pilots
navigating huge machines, responsible for
hundreds of lives, traveling all around the world
like demigods, but still they are just ordinary
people longing for simple human happiness.

SYNOPSYS It is late spring of 1942, and the Great Patriotic War is in full swing. A long way off from the
front-line, at some God-forgotten junction, the Germans make an air landing operation in an attempt to get
through to the Kirov railway and the White Sea - the Baltic Sea Canal. These aren’t just ordinary paratroopers.
This is a team of seasoned and highly trained infiltrators, the elite of the Waffen-SS, superhumans.
The only thing in their way is an anti-aircraft artillery unit of corporal Vaskov and five young women in
training. It may seem like a fight of local significance, but the country’s main strategic transportation
artery is at stake. Can the corporal and his ‘petite newbies’ prevent Nazi sabotage and at what cost?

Festival of Commercial Film “Kino-Yalta”
Producer’S STATEMENT Producer Vlad Ryashin:
“A new screen version of the famous novel The
Dawns Here are Quiet by B. Vasilyev was a risky
undertaking and there were critics scrupulously
assessing the new production and comparing
it with the famous film by S. Rostotsky. That’s
what they say after watching our film: The film
by Davletyarov does not dispute with the film by
Rostotsky and does not refute it. Yes, in some
aspects Davletyarov’s film repeats, in some aspects
specifies but in other aspects complements it.
Indeed, this is another screen version of the novel
by Boris Vasilyev, having a different premise,
treating and screening differently the recollection
scenes immersing the viewers into the pre-war
lives of the heroines, having a different rhythm of
narration, different editing, and a different – one
feels an urge to say a “Hollywood” – scale. The
new Dawns have a new cinematographic form and
epic breathe without losing stirring humaneness.’
Indeed, millions of young people have not watched
the old film by S. Rostotsky and will never watch
it. Viewers’ style of watching, requirements
and anticipations about the quality of visual
representation and pace of narration have changed.
Our film is for them, for those whom we will
discover this great novel by a great author for.
Both, B. Vasilyev’s dramaturgy and emotional
power of this story deserve being discovered
to the new, modern audience,” says Vladislav
Ryashin, General Producer for Star Media.

SYNOPSYS
Based on the classical play by Alexander Ostrovsky ‘’An Old friend is Better than Two New Ones‘’.
Successful provincial police guy Petr is about to marry Olga. She is very happy and eager
to marry him. A visiting glam star from Moscow to avoid consequences for drunk driving
charms Petr and they both run off the rails.Petr proposes to the Star, but she refuses.
After all what happened he can not get back together with Olga. So he wants to commit suicide but suddenly
becomes a star himself. Being almost on all popular tv shows Petr meets the Star but he holds back
and run away from her. Petr comes back to his home town to be together with his true love - Olga.
DIRECTOR’S STATEMENT The Very best day
is a story about Russian man who sings when
is it bad and when it is good. The way he signs
we understand what is happening to him at the
moment. In Russia people are shy they need
doping in order to chorus sing songs at night
and disturb the neighbours. In the begging
our main character was the same. But he
refused doping when we became happy.
When you are happy you sign better than Caruso.

He has worked in such animation studios as
“Cronverk”, “Troitskiy Most”, “Begemot”, “ZIS”,

Dmitriy Visotskiy. Vladimir worked in “Melnitsa
Animation Studio” since 1996 as an animator, leading
animator, and director of computer games.
In 2006-2007 he worked on the animation feature
from the trilogy about champions “Ilya of Murom
and the Nightingale the Robber” in the position
of the production director. Then he continued
to work as a director on the films “The Prince
Ivan and the Big Grey Wolf” (2011) and “The
Prince Ivan and the Big Grey Wolf 2” (2013).
Nowadays Vladimir Toropchin is the production
director of “Urfin and His Wooden Soldiers”.
SYNOPSYS The cunning and wicked Urfin Jus decides to become ruler of the Wonderful Land of Oz, take
over the Emerald City with his Wooden Soldiers, and rename it to Urfinville. He is all but ready to celebrate
victory, when his plans are ruined by Elly — an ordinary girl who ends up in Oz just at the right time. She
must return home, but not before she helps her friends — the Scarecrow, the Tin Woodman, and the
Cowardly Lion — defeat Urfin. But before they can defeat him, they must find out who he really is.
DIRECTOR’S STATEMENT “It is really interesting
to tell the story by means of new technologies,
using the set of 3D tools. Generally speaking,
the main purpose and task of a director remains
to tell viewers a fairytale and it’s absolutely
unimportant which resources are used for that.
We hope the film will be colorful and fascinating”

SYNOPSYS Victor aka Hammer is an MMA champion with the world title fight ahead. After
running into the mobster Shark Hammer gets severely injured but is still determined to win. On
top of that Shark’s girl Vera falls in love with Victor and breaks up with the mobster. What Victor
doesn’t know is that Shark sticks at nothing to make this fight the last one for Hammer and get
Vera back, and that it is Vera who is going to sacrifice a great deal for the sake of their love..
Nurbek Egen was born on
December 3, 1975 in Kirgizia.
Egen’s parents wanted their son to become a scientist
and made him attend a math school but Nurbek
chose his own path and after school entered the
actor’s department of the Institute of Art in Bishkek.
Two years later Nurbek realized that the acting
career was not his ultimate dream, moved to
Moscow and successfully entered the All-Russian
State Institute of Cinematography. After graduation
in 2001 Nurbek shot a movie Sanzhyra which was
nominated by the Academy Awards as the Best
Student’s Film. In 2005 yet another Nurbek’s feature
film The Ancestors’ Chest was nominated as the Best
Foreign Language Film by the Academy Awards and
received the Best International Drama award at the
Young Artists Awards Festival in Los Angeles. Apart
from feature films Nurbek also directs television
projects, his 12 episode drama Moving On was a hit
in Ukraine and will soon air on Channel One Russia.
DIRECTOR’S STATEMENT This is an action drama about a talented athlete who will do
anything for the woman he loves. The movie does have lots of fights and action but it is still
a love story. Taking the opponent down is a big deal but not the main focus. The protagonist
is fighting his way through to overcome his own fears and win not only in the ring but
in life too, and this fight will be rewarded with the most precious prize – love.
