Gardens Are Always for Next Year
You may have heard about the project "Garden named after" artist and curator Artyom Filatov — an open memorial garden at a private crematorium in Nizhny Novgorod. You can go there with your feet to listen to a sound installation or stay in a space of quiet reflection, or you can visit this place virtually and dedicate one of the plants in the garden to someone from your departed loved ones. Artyom closely connects his practice with the history of Nizhny Novgorod, but at the same time raises questions that go beyond one city and our time in general — he strives to create art that speaks about life and death and looks to the future, revealing itself in a new way for the next generations. In the film, Filatov talks about The Garden and his other works, as well as the ideas behind them.

In honouring her son’s life within the cosmos, Edith’s artworks embody colours, shapes and metaphors that remind us of the timeless power of love, gravity, and grace until our final breaths.

Echo: A Sonic Journey
How does a binaural microphone differ from a bionic one, what sound effects can you experience if you sit on a fire escape for a long time at night, and what is psychoacoustics? Where do the illusions that we can hear come from, and what wonders of technology do people come up with to record them? Musician and composer Tigran Paravyan, who faced these questions while studying at the Faculty of Sound Research at New York University, studies the possibilities and features of non-standard microphones and acoustics of different spaces. In the film, he travels to unusual places in Armenia, from medieval monasteries to abandoned concert halls, sings and captures songs and sounds of places using experimental sound recording methods.
The Edge of the Night
In 2020, director Andrei Natotsinsky arrived in Sukhum, and the city greeted him with darkness: no lanterns were lit on the central square or around it. After learning that rolling blackouts are associated with cryptominers, who were attracted to Abkhazia by cheap electricity, Natotsinsky returned with a film crew. To figure out how the contrast between the active mining of cryptocurrency and the general devastation framed by wild landscapes works, he conducted four filming expeditions in three years. However, "Edge of the Night" is not a film about miners, or rather, not so much about them, as in general about a region that has not yet recovered from the war of 92-93, the subsequent conflicts and economic disaster. Immersing himself in local history, talking to a variety of people, watching the arrival and departure of miners, Natotsinsky tries to create an objective — as far as possible — picture of life in Abkhazia.
