Oh, mom ...

What and where to look in April?

Frame from the movie "Moment of the Line"

"Sansara"
The series of Maria Agranovich with Pavel Derevyanko and Christina Asmus .
From April 6 in Okko
Andrey (Pavel Derevyanko) is an office hamster. The bank is responsible for loans, studies financial stories: refuses/confirms. Wins with the same loans, betraying them to the "dead souls", which is why it becomes an involuntary culprit of the death of a comrade. He pulls, pulls with the report until the boss leaves patience. Dates by Tinder, a chronic novel at work. In general, routine.
But the thirty -five is celebrated on a grand scale: a saved party, a kaleidoscope of bars and girls, a rubber woman as a gift. And in the morning, oddly enough, even the head does not hurt. Rejoice. That's just the day somehow jams. Yesterday's report finally sent to the boss ... did not reach. Friends do not remember the party. The girl from Tinder is about a date. Maybe everyone around agreed to be pricked? Such a circular prank? Or amnesia, as a psychiatrist suggests? Anterograd. Well, this is when temporary segments fall one after another of the memories.
Apparently, he hit his head. Yes, no, no, did not hit! And most importantly, you can’t explain anything to anyone. You only hear in response: you need to get less. Or ... that yesterday there was simply no. Time took the weekend. Or maybe it turned back. And every day on the calendar must be torn off ... in the opposite direction.
The story ensued quite everyday, slides into science fiction: he jumps after the hand of the watch in the "The day before".
Listen, and to whom did time solemnly promised to move exclusively forward? Maybe he is tired. According to the nonlinear theory of the great inventor of John Dann, the past, present and future occur at the same time, and only our consciousness can perceive this incomprehensible simultaneity exclusively in linear form.
So Andrei fell out in the morning ... yesterday. Life backwards, of course, is not as fast and tragic as Benjamin Batton (Brad Pitt's hero is remembered during the plot)
The story begins on October 24th. And he runs day after day ... in September.
What to do in this dream in reality? When at exactly 12 nights your today turns like a carriage of Cinderella into yesterday's pumpkin. Can I try to correct the unbearable tomorrow today?
“Sansara” is a story about a person who has lost himself in a present of himself, who made incorrigible mistakes that can only be corrected in the past. Most likely, the burner of life in it was stuck in order to evaluate the momentary of the moment that gives you the only chance.
"Sanasara" is a stupid intelligence. The series does not open new horizons in the topic of “rewinding” of time and is inspired by the works known in this area: from the story of the Strugatsky “Monday begins on Saturday” to the “Surka Day” and “Mirrors for the Hero”. Plus, the esoteric basis of the concept of “samsara” is not only the birth cycle and death in worlds limited by karma, but also “wandering, journey”. So the usual clerk Andrei wanders together with a newfound girlfriend (Christina Asmus) through the time in search of himself to the music of the “samsara” Basta, and at the same time gives us hope for the future that we were deprived of ... literally yesterday.
A thousand of me before me, and after me there will be / me in thousands of me, a thousand of me / and we again smash and do not repair us, because our children will be better than we / better than we ... better than we ... / such is the Law of Samsara, the cycle of people / oh-oh, mother ...
"Nine girls on the edge of reality"
The program of films of the workshop of Andrei Silvestrov, shot in the framework of the "Local" film laboratory
The shows will be held in three cities: in Moscow in Kinoknube, blue phantom in the "Stanislavsky Electro", in St. Petersburg in the film club of the "House of Radio" and in Yekaterinburg in the GCSI, the Ural branch of the PLC named after Pushkin.
The curator of the workshop is Andrey Silvestrov.
The artistic director is Lilia Nemchenko.
The curator of context is Zhenya Chaika.
Participants: Astia (Anastasia Tutynina), Al (Alexandra Lebedeva), Olga Obryatkova, Olga Belousova, Maria Rubina, Polina Manstsurova, Anastasia Shuklin, Maria Guseva, Dasha Devka.
Nine participants in the Laboratory "Local" gathered in the Ural city of Sysert, in the homeland of Bazhov’s fairy tale to make a movie. In the process, the educational work has grown into something more: into a action, co-creativity and co-perepishes of flickering reality. Fiction and reality intertwined in the collective experience that have connected the author’s projects, formed into a single cast of the molten summer of 2022.
37 debutants worked with experienced directors: Andrei Silvesterov, Zoe Kireeva, Natalya Savras and Elena Demidova.
The task of the laboratory: through people to see and show a place as the power of attraction. Andrei Silvestrov has long been passionate about the idea of collective cinema: and in this project his students have developed like fragments of a kaleidoscope.
Despite the variety of topics and approaches: from the methods of classical dock in Rimosus Olga Peretyakova to the end of the landscapes of the Syserta in the experimental works of Asti (“TOP”) and Al (“0-4-8 (moment of the line)”), all films are filled to one degree or another by mystical realism.
Without pursuing the goals to directly process Bazhov’s tales, the authors endowed their work with a fabulous, mystical beginning.
The shows will be held in three cities:
In Moscow in the film club, blue phantom in the "Electrotheater Stanislavsky",
In St. Petersburg in the film club "House Radio"
and in Yekaterinburg in the GCC, the Ural branch of the Plane named after Pushkin.
