“I worked two days in my life!” This is a film about a happy man, actor, clown and teacher Yuri Borisovich Ilyashevsky, who raised more than one generation of famous actors and directors and who has been practically living at VGIK for many years. Life was not always favorable to him, but always returned him to his beloved profession.

Ukrainian filmmaker Oleg Sentsov and activist Sasha Kolchenko were both detained in occupied Crimea on May 10, 2014. They were accused of plotting terrorist acts, taken to Russia and convicted. Kolchenko was sentenced to 10 years in prison and Sentsov – 20. Sentsov and Kolchenko were first held in a detention center in Moscow, tried in Rostov, transported to the Urals and then to the Russian Arctic. Between the two of them, they have covered almost 20,000 kilometers, or, half the distance around the Earth. Their entire journey has been within Russia. Or actually, within its prison system. We traveled to the key sites along their transport route – where the Ukrainian consuls were denied access and where lawyers today face difficulties getting in – to find out in what conditions they are being kept and who is responsible for their fate.

A film about the unique traditional musical culture of Buryatia: the polyphonic singing of the Old Believers, the round dance of the Buryats, the ancient ritual songs of the Evenks.

The shooting of this documentary film began a long time ago, during the life of Viktor Tsoi, but fate decreed in its own way. The film ended without him.

Director Roman Viktyuk is either hated or adored. But everyone recognizes the originality and uniqueness of his work. The film by Alexei Uchitel is a series of illustrations about the life of the scandalous maestro. Unique footage from rehearsals, a trip to Lviv and New York, young actors who have now become stars, but were once discovered by Viktyuk, as well as scenes from the director's most striking and challenging performances. And, of course, Roman Viktyuk himself, ironic, funny, sincere.

More recently, Palekh was known on a global scale. Now it is rare if a modern resident of Russia remembers at least in which region of his country Palekh is located. How did it happen? Does the city with the highest density of artists per square meter deserve to be forgotten? And by the way, is it even a city? The heroes of the film are two local residents who will talk about their understanding of the Russian hinterland and the creative atmosphere that has not yet left Palekh.
