- DirectorAleksandr LunginStarsAleksandr KuznetsovAleksey FilimonovFyodor LavrovGreat Poetry is about two guys who live on the outskirts of Moscow and work as cash collectors. They're young, lonely, and all they have in the world is each other. They spend their lives moving money for other people. Dreaming, they attend a poetry class at their local cultural center, and watch cock fights at a dorm for migrant workers. Attempts to find poetry in the prosaic world that surrounds them lead the heroes to the conclusion that the only poetic move they can make is to rob a bank. Paul Claudel wrote that a person lives their life intimately and poetically, and in our film there is a lot of poetry. But the film isn't about words or rhymes. It's about friendship and betrayal, and about our vicious and alien world in which anyone who tries to be honest and consistent ends up looking naive and cruel. It's about the ever-present and incomprehensible force that no matter what makes our life so frantic, strange, and lonely.

- DirectorNatalya ChumakovaAnna TsyrlinaStarsEgor LetovSergey LetovAlexander RozhkovPunk may have started in New York and London, but the extremely famous and famously extreme existential cult Siberian 80's band Grazhdanskaya Oborona (Civil Defense) and it's visionary leader Yegor Letov created something far more profound and sublime than the western rock-n-roll that had inspired it. The movie chronicles Letov's life from the 70s to the beginning of 90s (he died in 2008) and it seemingly follows every rock documentary convention: talking heads, concert video, and what looks like archival footage... Yet the interviews do not explain why the homemade recordings went viral to become the most important songs for so many completely different people well after the soviet reality to which they are supposedly addressed disappeared while the found footage and re-created live sequences are molded into something uncannily transcendent. The lo-fi-style and daring spirit of this visually elaborate film is authentic to its subject: so that the movie manages to capture the aura of the time and place and to convey the energy and significance of Letov's performances even to people who don't care about "punk".
