Overview: Winner of a Golden Plaque award at the Chicago International Film Festival "for its complex and poetic evocation of an ambiguous period in Soviet history," Marina Razbezhkina's debut film HARVEST TIME is a beautiful portrait of a woman living in a small Russian village after World War II. More than a story of survival against ethics, or individuality against collectivity, HARVEST TIME is a piercing meditation on family unity. - Written by Anonymous
Overview: Director Dmitry Lavrinenko, famous for his documentary about the rock band Auktyon (АукцЫон) "Encore", mounts the story of Fedorov from images equally momentary and eternal, and stories at the same time everyday and worldly.
Phantoms and chronicles, tales about recording the first solo album in an unheated Lendok studio, a confessional story about the death of his father, memories of meeting Henri Volokhonsky and Khvost (Aleksei Khvostenko), who scared dad with his complete freedom from reality, drinking vodka at a meeting with grateful and not very listeners. Behind the mosaic painting is a whole story about the thorny path of the artist, the courage to leave the comfort zone and spiritual poetry, which the film is looking for a visual equivalent.
