This is a film about the city of Yaroslavl and the people of Yaroslavl, as we generally know them, but we do not always recognize them. A city of metropolitan taste and style, with incredible creativity and seemingly inexhaustible creative possibilities. This is a picture about the city and the townspeople, about a very recent, but already forgotten history. These are memories of those political and cultural processes that took place in the city on the Volga 30 years ago, and in the 21st century revived seemingly dormant political activity.
We declare Spring to you!

Interactive map of the cultural and social life of the regions. The team of the educational project "Open University" went on an expedition around the country to learn about the activities of Russians outside the capitals, from million-plus cities to villages and outskirts. The central theme of the Maps of Russia is civil society. The focus is on personal initiatives that can transform the environment, a rehabilitation center for drug addicts in Pskov, computer literacy lessons in Karelian in a village near Petrozavodsk, a program to save 19th-century port warehouses from demolition organized in Nizhny Novgorod.

The rock band "Affinage" is gathering at their new rehearsal space to write the soundtrack for a movie that hasn't been released yet. The essence of this soundtrack is that it consists of different musical themes. Each theme song is about a band member. In the "throes of creativity" the characters have discussions, and opinions clash. However, the team skillfully uses the musical palette to characterize and reveal each other's personalities.

The film documents the first two weeks after Russia's attack on Ukraine. The main protagonist, Egor Lesnoy, is an environmental activist, blogger and influencer from Irkutsk in Siberia. His greatest love is Lake Baikal, where he free-dives under the ice in winter and clears the lake bottom and shores of trash with like-minded people in summer. Until February 24, 2022, he was full of hope for a better future. But on that day, his life changed entirely. He and his family stand pars pro toto for many, mostly young Russians, who do not support their country's policy and do not want to remain silent about the war of aggression. Despite the threat of imprisonment, they protest against it in the streets and in the media. Many are arrested, convicted and often ostracized by their own countrymen. Meanwhile, millions of people have left Russia. They leave their families behind, abandon their homeland. Yet most are ashamed to talk about their pain and anger. They feel guilty for their country, but they don't want to be portrayed as victims. Our film is an attempt to give these people a voice, to clarify their motivations and fears.

In 1986, the largest work of art in Europe, the Wall of Memory, was illegally destroyed in Kiev, and along with it, the names of its two authors, Ada Rybachuk and Vladimir Melnichenko, were erased from the history of art. For many years this story has been kept in the strictest confidence and is known only to a narrow circle of the creative elite. All attempts by the authors to achieve justice and to be heard only lead to even greater resistance from the authorities against them. Their names are gradually crossed out under all major works, from the lists of Ukrainian artists, and to top it off, in 2004, their studio was illegally written off and tried to be taken away. This incident leaves a final imprint on Ada's health, and with the words “I can no longer be in this circular lie, probably, I will leave you alone, perhaps you alone will be able to do what we both failed to do” - Ada dies. For 7 years, the film crew has been watching how this story develops, the courage of Vladimir, who, despite his old age and other difficulties, continues his struggle, in the name of Ada and their joint creativity, and how he, as a result, with the participation of a new generation, achieves colossal results.

Reality is that which is missing the most. An émigré film is acutely aware of the rupture of ties with the usual reality, at the same time it creates a new one and immerses itself in it. The film is in search of a hybrid genre, it presses the boundaries of video art and cinema. At the same time, Émigré explores the possibility of film as a form of literature. Based on the émigré diary tradition, the film creates a visual sequence that is transparent just enough that the past shines through it and superimposed on images of the present. This is how a certain synopsis is created, a summary of not a movie, but a segment of life. The characters in the film talk about their deeply personal traumas in front of the camera, and the experience of these traumas becomes their new reality. This is a film that could not be made, but could be found by its characters. Such a film cannot have a director or actors, only accomplices and victims. Development not only in content, but also in the perception of the image itself, the static nature of photography, the contemplativeness of video are mixed with traditional cinema tools. The film shows the figure of political silence. In the political field, the film speaks of those events that are no longer possible to remain silent, but it is still impossible to speak out. And the more Émigré resists the narrative, the more it sinks into it.
