LeF
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.

Encore
Overview: Many-many words have been written and a few ingenuous TV documentaries have been filmed about the great Russian rock band Auktyon (АукцЫон), which recently celebrated 30 years of playing music. Everything is completely different in the case of the film Encore: it took seven years for the director, Dmitry Lavrinenko, to make it; he needed just that amount of time to capture the wayward grace still preserved by Fyodorov, Garkusha, Ozersky and their associates. If you look behind the powerful music façade, you find not a story of a band but chronicles of a voyage aimed at incredible, incomparable music. Encore shows how the songs which are now known by heart were composed; it also shows things generally left aside: pieces of everyday life, tour diaries, conversations, including the key phrase: “You should not look at the liberty too much, you might feel dizzy.
