Russia was among those who founded the Soviet Union and among those who dissolved it. But 30 years after the collapse of the empire, many Russians still dream of going back. Nostalgia for the Union in Russia has practically become a state ideology. Many people forget about the shortage, the lack of freedom of speech and trade, but they remember cheap sausages and free apartments. Why won't Russia get out of the clutches of the Soviet Union?

In Bulgaria, there is a tradition to announce the death of a person with a special announcement. Usually it is hung out in some public place, at a bus stop, on a fence or front door of a house.

First part of a diptych dedicated to Karelia, a border region between Finland and Russia, and the homeland of the Karelians. Duque‘s essayist narrative portrays moments where the real and the fantastic of a culture come into conflict, “a hallucinated history of Karelia where different layers of time converge”. Karelia - which has belonged to Sweden, the Republic of Novgorod, Finland and Russia - is a region of contrasts due to its border dimension, cradle of Finnish literature and memory space of the wars and repressive policies of the last century. A family from a remote village preserves the vestiges of their ancestral and shamanic-culture; on the other side, the testimony of the daughter of a historian currently in prison. Both stories reflect and criticises Putin’s current actions to rewrite the history of Russia.

The film from a correctional colony explores the theme of self-awareness of a person in captivity. The director shows the prison from an unexpected angle. This is a hypnotizing, oneiric vision. There is no moralizing here. The author is interested in a person and the most precious thing he has - his dreams and his reality. The film contains documentary footage from a correctional colony (a plastic recycling workshop and a residential block), mounted with a monologue of a prisoner in order to understand what is happening with human reality on the other side of the fence.

A confused person and a place of power. How one affects the other was what interested me when I persuaded two non-actors to go on this journey. A couple of weeks in the countryside, from where the nearest civilization is an hour by bus, and we plunged into a situation that allowed us to reveal the true relationship between two people, between a person and space, between a person and his "I". There is a lot of documentary in this film, however, I call it a fictional story in which real people exist.

Zero hours 28 minutes On April 26, 1986, when going into the electrical test mode, the personnel of the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant made a mistake when switching control from the local automatic control system (LAR). There was a release into the atmosphere. Thus began the history of the Great Chernobyl tragedy. But only after 68 hours the Telegraph Agency of the Soviet Union recognized the fact of the accident. How did the country live these 68 hours? What happened in the Central Committee of the CPSU, which proclaimed the policy of glasnost? Who specifically imposed a ban on notifying the country and the world about the catastrophe? What did the party authorities of Ukraine do? What did the authorities of Sweden and other European countries do, where did the radioactive cloud go? What happened in the “kitchens” of scientists who understood the problem? What orders did the army receive? What happened at the train stations and airports in Kyiv?

A few weeks in the life of a young Paralympic athlete Andrei Filippov (19 years old), a master of sports in swimming for the blind. Having met Andrey in his small homeland, together with him we will make a short but important journey from home training in Volgograd to a performance in Moscow at the Russian Cup. On this journey, we will try to get to know Andrei a little better and understand how he lives. Every day he has to overcome a variety of difficulties: moral, financial, health problems. Andrei was born an albino with 5 percent vision in a city where, according to him, being special is almost a crime. And from early childhood, he got used to mockery and misunderstanding of peers. All these years, Andrey has been opposing himself to the world around him, and swimming has become a way for him to fight for a "place in the sun." In his case, this expression takes on an additional color, because direct contact with sunlight is contraindicated for albinos.

Despite the 1994 ceasefire, there is still no real peace between Armenia and Azerbaijan, which continue to fight fiercely over the mountainous Nagorny Karabakh region. More than 25 years since the war, nationalistic passions seem as strong as ever. The litany of resentments and accusations continues to meet with denial in an ongoing dialogue of the deaf. With the restraint that comes with our foreigners’ gaze, Under the Same Sun offers an attentive ear, in search for understanding in these young countries with old wounds.

The hero of the film, violinist Helmut Stern born in Berlin in 1928. “I lived under five dictatorships. The first was German, Hitler’s, the second was Japanese in China, the third was Soviet in China, the fourth was Chinese communist, because there was already a civil war and we had communists, and the fifth... guess... These are the conductors", he says. The story of Helmut Stern, his forced trip around the world, his odyssey of a Jewish refugee recalls the story of Voltaire's Candide, who was expelled from his home. Life made him a cosmopolitan and democrat.

The film is dedicated to the street war of anti-fascists and nationalists in the 2000s. The focus is on the musical preferences and political ideas of the participants in the conflict, who lost their health and lives in the bloody confrontation FA-ANTIFA. It was a subcultural war, the main front of which was music. It was led by very similar young people who did not fit into the social structure of modern Russian society. Now they have matured, and the activity of street confrontation has decreased. The main feeling indulged in by the characters of the film, named after the cult novel by Anthony Burgess and the film by Stanley Kubrick, is nostalgia, and after it comes a new understanding of the past years and an understanding of the enduring value of the main engine of conflict activity, youth.

Alexander Nikolaevich is very old. The war turned his whole life upside down. But he does not remember the war, and he does not remember insults, he remembers something completely different. He remembers gestures, hand movements, his hands. He forgave everyone. He is ready to shake hands with former enemies. Ready. But he can't. He has no hands. He lost them in the war.
