Poster for Perestroika

2009 · ★ 0.0 (0)

Sarah Turner's film is a ghost story that explores what we forget and how we remember. The stunning imagery comes solely from the window of the Trans-Siberian train, shot first in 1987-8 and then again in 2007-8. The re-enactment of the journey is a memory work, a re-enactment of the past in the present through the process of filming. But the return journey is haunted by the voices of two dead friends that dominate the soundscape of the 'archive' footage.

Poster for Yegor's Grief

2008 · ★ 1.0 (1)

Yegor is in trouble. He borrowed money to produce young talents, but those young talents, after using him, left for another music producer. Now Yegor must either return the money to the glamorous gangster Maximilian by the end of the week or present him with a new talented star — otherwise, he’s finished. Realizing that in such a short time he will find neither the money nor a star, Yegor flees Moscow “wherever his eyes lead him” and ends up in a backwater town called Glukhomanye. There, through deception, he gains access to a floating pier belonging to a fishery inspection officer named Stepanych, where he plans to lie low while he figures out what to do next.

Poster for Kaskara

1974 · ★ 0.0 (0)

An experimental film where a particular space is constantly "present" : there is a complex usage of superim- position, and of split-screen effects. The place shown is a part of a house in the country. Doors and windows are continually shown, emphasizing the film's concern with framing. Other images are present: city-scapes of a particularly sinister nature, implying a sense of ruin, and shots of a chorus on a stage. These shots begin and end the film which is accompanied by a vocal chant on the soundtrack.
