First on the Moon

In spring 1938 in the mountains in the north of Chile a fiery UFO, later named "Chilean Sphere ", fell down. The investigation of this episode, made by a film crew, has led to a sensational discovery. It appeared that before the Second World War (in the thirties) in the USSR a secret space program had been developed. The Soviet scientists and military authorities managed to launch the first spacecraft 23 years prior to Jury Gagarin's flight! "The First on the Moon" tells about everyday life, heroic deeds and tragedy of the first group of the Soviet cosmonauts. It is the first Russian film shot in a very rare genre 'mockumentary' or 'documentary fiction'.

Nails

Nails is the story of an assassin (his name is Hitman) who has a terrible headache and the only solution to cure it is drastic, that is, sticking a series of nails into his skull! This is only the first step towards a form of self-destruction that in the final part of the film gives us some truly unhealthy and disturbing images, obviously accompanied by blood and offal. A true visual delirium studied in the smallest details starting from the use of color in the three phases that punctuate this debut on acid.

The characters have volunteered for the experiment to be put through not only scientific researching, but also through the everyday trials of friendship, love, attractions, envy and “the strongest of affects” – the curiosity. Thus, the scientific experience turns into human one, and a result is unpredictable…

Ascension

Definitively proving that all the "B" Science Fiction of the 1950s and 1960s do not hold a candle to the 'real thing,' Pavel Medvedev's surreal 45 minute documentary Ascension is certainly one to look for. Composed entirely out of archival footage, much of it from the Soviet science and space archives, delicately scored and building to an undeniable mood of surreal (perhaps even ominous) energy, it charts (and re-purposed) the progress of man into to the unknown area of space exploration with a flair for creating art out film that was shot by scientists and engineers as a mundane record.

Sunset of the Constructor Barkhatov

A video comic based on a montage of old footage from a Ural factory using computer graphics and flash animation. If the first part is a bit reminiscent of crazy Soviet documentary propaganda, the second part takes us to an alternative reality, populated by revived phantoms of the magazine "Krokodil": freeloaders, alcoholics, abstract artists and other nonconformists. The main character, Barkhatov, is a superman on a mission to fight the enemies of the working class.
