Dear Arctic
Dear Arctic is a documentary film about researchers at the Arctic Center at the University of Lapland, Rovaniemi. The documentary transports the viewer from Rovaniemi to fieldwork in the lands of arctic indigenous peoples and reindeer herders to Siberia, to climate change research in Iceland and Greenland, and back to Finland to the inner reflection of critical arctic research and research work. In the film, six researchers from three different research areas open their work. The Arctic Center is better known internationally than within Finland, and the documentary increases awareness of its unique activities, especially in the research center's home country. The film brings Arctic research closer to the public in an easily understandable form.

Humans remain anonymous and faceless, silhouettes against the backdrop of the dark city.

Featuring oral interviews recorded at the site of the demolition and in a nearby hairdressers, the film invites viewers to pause and reflect on this ending alongside the community of the building. The film is informed by Ultimology, and invites its audience to think about the life cycles of buildings and materials, how we mourn, what is sacred, how we gather, what we value and issues of sustainability in architecture.

The film “Andrey Konchalovsky’s Cinema Odyssey” is a tribute to the creative path of one of our outstanding contemporaries, Andrey Konchalovsky, spanning from his debut film, “The Boy and the Dove”, which was immediately invited to the Venice International Film Festival, to the present day. The documentary features notable figures who starred in the master’s films, from Sergei Shakurov to Tom Holtz, from Inna Churikova to Irina Kupchenko.

Birds in Cage
"Birds would fly, China caged at all."

Mikhail Gorsheniov. The Legend of the King and Jester
The documentary about Mikhail Gorshenev, the leader of the group "The King and the Fool", was created over the course of four years. The film is released 10 years after Pot's death and in the year of the 35th anniversary of the band's existence. The film tells in detail and fascinatingly about the childhood and youth of the leader of the "King and the Fool", the moment of the founding of the group and all stages of the musical collective. The punks started with rehearsals at Gorshka's mom's apartment in a residential area of Leningrad, then slowly conquered the underground scene of the city, and towards the end of the 1990s they became known throughout Russia and confidently assembled giant stadiums. Today, when the "King and the Fool" has been gone for 10 years, the band's fans are just as loyal and numerous, and the band's hits are still playing on the country's radio stations. There is no doubt that the punk rock band has left a huge mark on the history of modern music in Russia.
