One of the inventions of the 20th century that changed the world is television. It appeared thanks to the work of many inventors, one of which is a Russian American, the creator of wireless image transmission technology at a distance, Vladimir Kozmich Zworykin. Paradoxically, he is almost unknown in his homeland.

Forty years ago, a documentary film about Soviet cardiac surgeons was released. Perhaps, for the first time on our screen, doctors reflected on the value of human life, talked about their experiences caused by the death of a patient, about the imperfection of Soviet medicine, the lack of knowledge and responsibility of doctors. For forty years, medicine has made an incredible breakthrough, but the moral problems that plague doctors have remained the same. “You can’t get used to death” is the leitmotif of the paintings, old and new. The film was awarded as the Best Non-Fiction Film at the Russian Film Festival "Window to Europe" - 2016.

The plot of the 7-episode documentary cycle "Brotherhood of the Bomb" is based on the history of scientific research and searches that led to the creation of atomic and hydrogen weapons. The picture covers events from the discovery of the phenomenon of radioactivity by Pierre and Marie Curie, the first experiments and studies of Rutherford, Bohr, Fermi, Heisenberg, Einstein, Oppenheimer, Kapitsa, Semenov, Landau and other scientists to the testing of the Soviet hydrogen bomb on Novaya Zemlya in 1953. Who will be the first to test the "super bomb"? Who will emerge victorious in this monstrous competition? The film tells how this tacit competition went, in which, fortunately, there were neither winners nor losers, but a new brotherhood of physicists was born.

The film tells about the most familiar to us and at the same time about the most still unexplored substance, about water.

A film about the relationship between humans and robots. Why do anthropomorphic robots cause fear? Can we live with them as full partners? Where is the line between robot and human?

The film is dedicated to the outstanding Russian engineer, inventor, scientist Vladimir Shukhov. Under his leadership, about 500 bridges were designed and built, the first oil pipeline in Russia, the Kievsky railway station in Moscow. The callsigns of the first Soviet radio station, and later the first television programs, were transmitted from antennas installed on the Shabolovskaya radio tower in Moscow, built according to Shukhov's design. In Samarkand, after the earthquake, a beautiful monument of medieval architecture, the minaret of the Ulugbek Madrasah, was restored according to his project. 63 years of engineering work, and more than ten projects completed each year.

A story about the unknown pages of the largest victories of Russian science and technology, about brilliant inventions and strong people.

The film is based on the story of the Oval Sarcophagus with Dionysian scenes from the antique collection of the Pushkin Museum im. A.S. Pushkin. At various times, the owners of the sarcophagus were the Roman Emperor Septimius Severus, the Italian Cardinal Marco Sittico Altemps, and finally, the Minister of Public Education of Russia, Count Sergei Uvarov, who purchased the sarcophagus for his "museum" in the Porechye estate near Moscow. The history of the sarcophagus is an occasion to reflect on the connection between epochs and cultures, the vicissitudes of fate, the mystery of life and death. Filming was carried out in various museums in Moscow, Rome, in the Porechye estate and the Hermitage.

Humanity actively uses the fruits of his discoveries in the 21st century, and the name of the scientist is little known even in his native Fatherland. The film "The First Physicist of Russia" is a fascinating and vivid story about the fate of the discoverer Alexander Grigoryevich Stoletov, whose life was short and difficult, and the trace that he left in science is like the light of a shooting star, bright and long.

Today, scientists predict several options for the life of the universe. The first option is not the worst: the Universe as it is now has always been and will always exist. The second option: she was born, changed, and someday, sadly, she will die. Most scientists tend to the latter. The Universe was born as a result of an explosion of a small superdense clot of matter, which had great energy, which began to scatter in different directions. But how did the planets and, ultimately, life itself come from energy? Thousands of scientists are looking for the answer to this question. Peter Higgs is the most expensive scientist for the world economy. His theory of the birth of the universe has already cost taxpayers 6 million euros. And this is not the limit. The Large Hadron Collider, which is capable of confirming the Higgs theory, has not even begun to operate at full capacity. And many are sure that they will never start. They believe that nature itself rebels against this. Or God himself. But Peter Higgs is convinced that the particle of the universe he is looking for, the boson, will definitely be discovered. The key to unraveling the "mystery of the Creator" may be very close at hand.

Why are stars so attractive? With its beauty, unexploredness, great remoteness from the earth? Some made this interest their profession and became scientists, astronomers and astrophysicists, others turned it into a hobby and all their free time from the roofs of houses and even in private observatories observe the starry sky, discovering new stars, giving them names. This film tells about astronomy, astronomers, professionals and amateurs.

In 1982, 26 children were enrolled in a special physics and mathematics class. Those who got into this elite school were guaranteed a predictable future, the guys were preparing to become mathematicians, physicists and serve their homeland. Then came the restructuring. One of the students in this class was the author and director of the film Ekaterina Eremenko. The film has many poles, subjective honest stories and objective strict physical laws used as metaphors; half the class who left the country and classmates living in Russia; past and present; children and their parents.

A documentary investigation of a sensational event hidden from society for forty years, namely, the jump of two Soviet paratroopers, Pyotr Dolgov and Evgeny Andreev, from the stratosphere from a height of 25 km. The secrecy of this experiment, conducted in 1962, and the death of one of Dolgov's testers deprived the heroes of their well-deserved fame. The investigation conducted by the author of the film, the analysis of materials declassified on his initiative, made it possible to restore the details of the event and return the names of the heroes to the public

Sukhum is the capital of Abkhazia, a tiny, unrecognized republic on the shores of the Black Sea. On its highest hill lies a medical institute of research on monkeys, established by the Soviets in the 1920’s. The legend states it was meant to create a hybrid between man and ape. This creature never came to life, neither the communist New Man did. Today, men and monkeys are caged in a territory ravaged by war and decades of cruelty, both victims of a failed series of experiments.

Over the long history of mankind, natural disasters, volcanic eruptions, tsunamis, tornadoes, earthquakes have claimed a huge number of human lives. To what extent now, in the 21st century, is science able to withstand these disasters? Has humanity learned to notice, see and analyze the secret signs of the Earth that portend such catastrophes?

The hero of the film, a young Russian biologist, Alexander Sergeevich Ermakov, has been working on the study of stem cells in the UK for 10 years. But he is a man who dreams of giving his brains to his homeland. He flies to Russia with the hope of finding a job and staying. Here he is met by relatives, friends and misunderstanding of colleagues. Will Alexander Sergeevich stay in Russia?

Why do people need such a complex brain and how did we get it? Does a person really use only 10% of the capabilities of the brain, and is there a limit to human mental abilities? How are the brains of men and women different? How are feelings born, and can they be detected with the help of technical means? The leader of the project, the famous scientist Alexander Kaplan, with the help of experiments and illustrative examples, will give answers to the most popular questions regarding the work and structure of the brain.

In the summer of 2007, a group of four volcanologists landed in Medvezhya Bay on Iturup Island in the Great Kuril Ridge. The purpose of the expedition is to study the Kudryavy volcano, the hottest on the planet. Volcanologists will have to live on the island for 2 months. And this part of their life will pass away from stuffy cities, from demanding civilization, from endless fuss. It is believed that 7515 years have passed since the creation of the world, but it seems that nothing has changed on Iturup since then.
