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.

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.

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.

A film about the work of Russian microbiologists, discoveries, research expeditions. The film also raises the question of how ideas appear, theories and hypotheses are built.

Simon Elevich Shnol is a professor, Doctor of Biological Sciences, one of the organizers of the world's first Department of Biophysics at the Faculty of Physics of Moscow State University. An amazing memory and the talent of a storyteller easily unite different episodes of life in time and space. Through the prism of the biography of Simon Elevich, we see a whole era, from the repressions of the 1930s and the devastation of the war years to the revival of the country and the formation of new scientific knowledge.

The film tells about the fate of Professor Felix Beloyartsev, who worked together with colleagues on the creation of the drug Perftoran, which was called "blue blood" by journalists. Work on Perftoran was accompanied by intrigues in the scientific community, interest in "blue blood" by Western experts, and, finally, attention to the scientific development of the all-powerful KGB. As a result of the information war, the work of Beloyartsev's laboratory was suspended. In 1985, the 44-year-old professor hanged himself, leaving a suicide note "I can no longer live in conditions of slander and betrayal."

A young theoretical physicist Konstantin is engaged in the study of quantum effects and teaches at the institute. In the summer, he and his students go to the sea, to the institute's recreation center. Every day, Konstantin teaches physics classes for a group of debtor students, and every evening, as a counselor, he keeps order in the buildings. That is, it prevents students from having fun. Students are skeptical about Konstantin and try to evade classes at the first opportunity. They are not interested in physics, but in summer, girls and their own youth. Kostya is "in antiphase" in relation to all the inhabitants of the summer camp. Perceiving the surrounding reality through the prism of physics, Kostya opposes the classical world to the quantum one, that is, the world of ordinary people to the ideal, subtle, complex world. The "quantum man" Konstantin is trying to convey something to people from the "classical world", to establish contact with them, but they do not understand him, and cannot understand him.

All foreign encyclopedias speak of him as an outstanding American physicist. A memorial plaque adorns the wall of the prestigious George Washington University in the US capital; astronauts have named a large crater on the Moon after him. But the physicist George Gammow was the Russian Georgy Antonovich Gamow. Before perestroika, his name was banned in Russia. Only in 1990, Gamow was posthumously returned the title of Corresponding Member of the USSR Academy of Sciences, which he received in 1928, becoming the youngest chosen one in the history of Russian science.

The film shows the process of a collective search for an original solution to a mathematical problem. The best specialists from different countries came together at the Berlin Center for Discretization in Geometry and Dynamics to answer the question "What is the largest triangle in ...?" However, the wording of the question will sound completely only at the end of the film, when the problem is solved.

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

The phrase "Black holes" appeared thanks to science fiction, but came into use thanks to science, which thereby confirmed their existence. Black holes remain as much a symbol of a bold scientific hypothesis as white spots are a symbol of scientific mystery.

In the sixties of the last century, the most developed countries of the world joined the race to create a new type of aircraft, a supersonic passenger liner.

In the 60s of the last century, Soviet archaeologists discovered a center of Paleolithic culture in the Southern Urals. The rock paintings of the Kapova Cave have become a sensation in the world of science. There are very few places where evidence of the life and work of ancient people has been preserved. Thanks to the lighting equipment of the film crew of the popular science film, many new drawings were discovered at that time. And now, 50 years later, modern documentary filmmakers, together with the head of research, associate professor of Moscow State University, Doctor of Science Vladislav Zhitenev, are making new discoveries, and in the Bashkir State Opera and Ballet Theater, young choreographer Rinat Abushakhmanov and composer Nikolai Popov are creating a unique production, a one-act popular science ballet "On what are the stones silent about" according to real research by archaeologists.
