Film studio "Nadezhda"

A lonely old man lives in the village - Ivan Makarov, angry and prickly. All his wealth is a house and an accordion. Yes, there is still a dream - to go to Moscow and speak on television: what if the son, who has long forgotten about him, sees and responds? But in Moscow, instead of his son, he finds a homeless teenager, Sergei, nicknamed "The Hoop". Returning together to Ivan's native village, they do not realize that life is preparing them another test to test true male friendship, fortitude and stamina in overcoming any blows of fate.

A Humble Life is certainly true to its title, a documentary study of the day-to-day world of Umeno Mathuyoshi, an old woman who lives in an isolated mountain house in the Nara prefecture in Japan.

The Dialogues with Solzhenitsyn is a two-part Russian television documentary by Russian filmmaker Alexander Sokurov on Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn. The documentary shot in Solzhenitsyn’s home shows his everyday life and covers his reflections on Russian history and literature.

Originally aired on Russian television, this five-part semi-documentary series tells the story of a Russian naval commander in charge of an Arctic-based ship. The film provokes a meditation on solitude and isolation, while revealing the daily duties associated with the ship. Voice-over narration by the commander, other sailors, and even a third-person voice provide the "confession" of the title.

The second film of Alexander Sokurov's documentary series "Petersburg Diary" is dedicated to the outstanding Soviet film director Grigory Kozintsev
