Kolia (Alexeï Serebriakov) lives in a small fishing town near the stunning Barents Sea in Northern Russia. He owns an auto-repair shop that stands right next to the house where he lives with his young wife Lilya (Elena Liadova) and his son Roma (Sergueï Pokhodaev) from a previous marriage. The town’s corrupt mayor Vadim Shelevyat (Roman Madianov) is determined to take away his business, his house, as well as his land. First the Mayor tries buying off Kolia, but Kolia unflinchingly fights as hard as he can so as not to lose everything he owns including the beauty that has surrounded him from the day he was born. Facing resistance, the mayor starts being more aggressive….. 2 CREDITS CAST Alexey Serebryakov Kolia Elena Lyadova Lilya Vladimir Vdovitchenkov Dmitri Roman Madyanov Vadim Shelevyat Anna Ukolova Angela Alexey Rozin Pacha Sergey Pokhodaev Roma FILMMAKERS Directed by Andrey Zvyagintsev Screenplay Oleg Negin, Andrey Zvyagintsev Producers Alexander Rodnyansky, Sergey Melkumov Co-Producer Marianna Sardarova Executive Producer Ekaterina Marakulina Production Manager Pavel Gorin Casting Elina Ternyaeva Editing Anna Mass Make up Galiya Ponomareva Costumes Anna Bartuli Sound Andrey Dergachev Production Design Andrey Ponkratov Cinematography Mikhail Krichman Music Philip Glass A Non-Stop Production film, with the support of the Ministry of Culture of the Russian Federation of the Cinema Fund and RuArts foundation 3 Director’s Note When a man feels the tight grip of anxiety in the face of need and uncertainty, when he gets overwhelmed with hazy images of the future, scared for his loved ones, and fearful of death on the prowl, what can he do except give up his freedom and free will, and hand these treasures over willingly to a trustworthy person in exchange for deceptive guarantees of security, social protection, or even of an illusory community? Thomas Hobbes’ outlook on the state is that of a philosopher on man’s deal with the devil: he sees it as a monster created by man to prevent “the war of all against all”, and by the understandable will to achieve security in exchange for freedom, man’s sole true possession. Just like we are all, from birth, marked by the original sin, we are all born in a “state”. The spiritual power of the state over man knows no limit. The arduous alliance between man and the state has been a theme of life in Russia for quite a long time. But if my film is rooted in the Russian land, it is only because I feel no kinship, no genetic link with anything else. Yet I am deeply convinced that, whatever society each and every one of us lives in, from the most developed to the most archaic, we will all be faced one day with the following alternative: either live as a slave or live as a free man. And if we naively think that there must be a kind of state power that can free us from that choice, we are seriously mistaken. In the life of every man, there comes a time when one is faced with the system, with the “world”, and must stand up for his sense of justice, his sense of God on Earth. It is still possible today to ask these questions to the audience and to find a tragic hero in our land, a “son of God”, a character who has been tragic from time immemorial, and this is precisely the reason why my homeland isn’t lost yet to me, or to those who have made this film. - Andrey Zvyagintsev 4 About the Director Andrei Zvyagintsev was born in 1964 in Novosibirsk, Siberia In 1990, Zvyagintsev graduated from the acting program of the Russian University of Theater Arts (GITIS), where he studied under the tutelage of Evgeny Lazarev.

    Non-Stop Production presents UNCLENCHING THE FISTS a film by KIRA KOVALENKO 97 min - Russia – 2021 – Color - 2,35 - 5.1 INTL PR: INTL SALES: DDA Antoine Guilhem [email protected] [email protected] Photos and press kit can be downloaded from https://www.wildbunch.biz/movie/unclenching-the-fists/ SYNOPSIS In a former mining town in North Ossetia, a young woman struggles to escape the stifling hold of the family she loves as much as she rejects. THE FILM The small mining town of Mizur lies high in the mountains of North Ossetia between steep cliffs. Zaur has settled his family here. He keeps his sons and daughter on a short leash, blind to the line that separates fatherly concern from overprotectiveness. His eldest, Akim, has already run off to the nearest city, Rostov, to find work. Meanwhile, his youngest, Dakko, isn’t entirely sure yet what he wants out of life, while middle child, Ada, is actively planning her own escape. Although she’s already a young woman, her father still insists on treating her like a defenseless little girl. Freeing herself from his strong paternal embrace to finally embark on an independent adult life of her own is proving tougher than she anticipated. But just what is this father trying to protect his daughter from? Kira Kovalenko: The initial inspiration for the story came from a line in Faulkner’s Intruder in the Dust about how, while some people can endure slavery, nobody can stand freedom. The idea of freedom as a burden was the single most important theme for me while I was working on the film.

Corruption as Shared Culpability: Religion, Family, and Society in Andrey Zvyagintsev's Leviathan (2014) Abstract This article engages in close analysis of how Andrey Zvyagintsev depicts corruption and its various manifestations: moral, familial, societal, and institutional, in Leviathan (Leviafan, 2014). While other post- Soviet films address the problem of prevalent corruption in Russia, Zvyagintsev’s work is the first ot provoke strong public reactions, not only from government and Russian Orthodox Church officials, but also from Orthodox and political activist groups. The film demonstrates that the instances of legal and moral failings in one aspect of existence are a sign of a much deeper and wider-ranging problem that affects all other spheres of human experience.

  • Friendly Fire Project Examines How a Country Views Itself by How It Tells Its War Story, We Are Also Very Interested in What Other Countries Consume for Entertainment
    00:00:00 Music Music Soft, melancholy, somewhat eerie music. 00:00:01 Adam Host If it feels like there are a lot of films about Stalingrad, you’re not Pranica wrong. A quick search in your movie streaming service of choice—or if you’re so lucky, a brick-and-mortar video store—will reveal ten of them. Although only one, to our knowledge, has a scene depicting a Rachel Weisz hand job. It’s enough film content to spin off a podcast of its own, and I’ve already pitched Earwolf a show about German/Russian World War II films with an emphasis on fighter plane aerodynamics/equestrian cavalry enclosures hosted by fifth-year college seniors from acting school with limb fractures called The Stalingrad Stall Stall Stallin’ Grad Cast Cast Cast. For comparison, there are only five more films made about Pearl Harbor, and that’s if you don’t disqualify the Michael Bay movie, which we do. This Stalingrad film is the most successful Russian film of all time, earning 51 million domestically in Russia and $68 million globally. And while the Friendly Fire project examines how a country views itself by how it tells its war story, we are also very interested in what other countries consume for entertainment. Stalingrad accomplishes both. But does that say anything about the importance of this battle in the story of World War II, and the historical record? Well, in our experience watching war films, sometimes quantity doesn’t equal quality. And this is a film that tries very hard to project quality.

  • Preservation and Changes of Russian Culture from the Perspective of Film Language — Taking Attraction As an Example
    Preservation and Changes of Russian Culture from the Perspective of Film Language — Taking Attraction as an Example Wenhan Yang Heilongjiang University, Harbin 116085, Heilongjiang, China Email: [email protected] Abstract: The changes of Russian literature and film language, to some extent, mirror the historical process of changes of Russian culture. In the history of cultural development in several centuries, Russia has critically absorbed the achievements of Eastern and Western civilizations on the premise of preserving its own cultural background, thus forming a Russian civ- ilization with national characteristics. Taking Attraction as an example, this paper analyzes the preservation and changes of modern and contemporary Russian culture from the perspective of film language, so as to discover the changes of modern and contemporary Russian civilization. Keywords: film language, Russian culture, preservation and change, Attraction Introduction Attraction is a science fiction based love affair film directed by Fyodor Bondarchuk with the love track of the heroine Yulya as the clue, and it depicted various contradictions and tensions in social life as the earth was collapsing. In the film, there are few descriptions of battles and invasions, but love, kinship, friendship and other elements are vigorously rendered with relatively slow pace. The doomsday soft science fiction film Attraction gives a large proportion on the discussion of human nature, conveying the director and screenwriter's unique world view and cosmology, and conveying the anti-war spiritual core. 1. The preservation of Russian culture in the film language of Attraction 1.1 Preservation of love culture Love is the eternal theme of Russian films and world films.

Centering on the reminiscences of Rose McNulty, a woman who has spent over fifty years in state institutions, The Secret Scripture is a deeply moving story of love lost and redeemed, against the backdrop of an emerging Irish state in which female sexuality and independence unsettles the colluding patriarchies of church and nationalist politics. Demonstrating Sheridan’s trademark skill with actors, his profound sense of story, and depth of feeling for Irish social history, The Secret Scripture marks a return to personal themes for the writer-director as well as a reunion with producer Noel Pearson, almost a quarter of a century after their breakout success with My Left Foot.

La testant sur lui-même, il prend conscience de l’extrême puissance de ce principe actif permettant de modifier radicalement la perception humaine. Il ignore encore que son LSD va changer le monde. Dans les années 1950, les psychiatres recourent au LSD comme médicament et celui-ci devient un outil d’exploration de la psyché humaine. Le phénomène prend toute son ampleur lorsque cette « bombe atomique de l’esprit » se propage hors de l’hôpital au début des années 1960 : le LSD semble fait pour les gens en marge de la société d’abondance. Au début des années 1970, cette substance à l’effet traître est mise sur liste noire. À l’heure où certaines drogues psychédéliques pourraient être utilisées dans un cadre légal, s’apprête- t-on à reconsidérer aujourd’hui le LSD comme un médicament, à l’instar d’Albert Hofmann ? THE SUBSTANCE raconte l'histoire de notre relation trouble avec le LSD, depuis ses origines jusqu'à aujourd'hui.

Wagner, Chair Professor Emeritus T.J. Clark Professor Emerita Kaja Silverman Spring 2013 Abstract House Work: Domesticity, Belonging, and Salvage in the Art of Jess, 1955-1991 by Tara McDowell Doctor of Philosophy in History of Art University of California, Berkeley Professor Emerita Anne M. Wagner, Chair This dissertation examines the work of the San Francisco-based artist Jess (1923-2004). Jess’s multimedia and cross-disciplinary practice, which takes the form of collage, assemblage, drawing, painting, film, illustration, and poetry, offers a perspective from which to consider a matrix of issues integral to the American postwar period. These include domestic space and labor; alternative family structures; myth, rationalism, and excess; and the salvage and use of images in the atomic age. The dissertation has a second protagonist, Robert Duncan (1919-1988), preeminent American poet and Jess’s partner and primary interlocutor for nearly forty years. Duncan and Jess built a household and a world together that transgressed boundaries between poetry and painting, past and present, and acknowledged the limits and possibilities of living and making daily.
