History
Soviet experimental filmmaker Vladimir Kobrin worked for most of his life at CentrNauchFilm studio in Moscow, where he produced over fifty scientific educational films. Despite being commissioned by scientific societies, his films transcend the documentary, offering seamlessly crafted essays that testify to Kobrin’s science-infused macabre.
Director
An experimental digital animation with humor, music and reflective narrations. Kobrin's final film.
Director
Film is about communication. Kobrin pays homage to Vasili Nalimov, to his work and life. Nalimov was a mathematician and philosopher, but was also an eccentric anarchist with mystic tendencies who spent eighteen years in a concentration camp. Nalimov’s philosophy relies on probabilistic methods in the natural and social sciences and applies them to the study of language and consciousness.

Director
The film is about the crisis in the Russian cinema, which occurred 100 years after the birth of cinema. The title of the film reflected Kobrin's feelings of this period, the collapse of the old order, pennilessness and uncertainty about the future. In some respects, the film almost documents the life of the Kobrins House, a whole studio compressed within a small flat, children, computers, people working on computers, kitchen, guests, Kobrin himself - all this is filmed in the time-lapse mode. The film is narrated by snippets from Vasily Nalimov's "Spontaneity of consciousness", intermixed with stories told by a rustic man.

This film decisively breaks out of a numerous politicized and social films, it does not dictate to the viewer any particular point of view, perception of the film takes place at the level that the viewer chooses for himself.
Director
At the center of the film is a man in a monkey mask inhabiting various anthropogenic spaces, such as a zoo, city streets and a farmyard. But the attributes inherent in human life (work, marriage, military service, leisure) do not release him from an animal form.

The film in a metaphorical form demonstrates a model of self-devouring in a closed spiritual system, it explores intermediate state between a human and a non-human: a subhuman deprived of a divine spark.

The pantomime of two characters exchanging roles is accompanied by a three-layered phonogram, where sophisticated narrative text is interrupted by slightly accelerated excerpt from Brezhnev’s speeches, as well as by fragments of statements of the mentally ill person with the schizophasia symptom.
Director
The time has come to life and went backwards, and gained all its losses. All the dead have given their time, all the time of their love and their hatred. The cycle of present has opened. And in the ashes of the burnt lives a new fire flashed, and lit the way for those who went to the beginning of all beginnings. And I have witnessed it.
