We Will Be the First
Director
The documentary "We will be the first!" about boys who dream of becoming professional athletes was filmed for 3 years. During the filming, the characters turned into young people. Some of them were forced to give up their dreams, and someone got a ticket to Manchester United. Among the heroes of the film are the Honored coach of Russia Leonid Slutsky and the hope of Russian football 15-year-old Sergei Pinyaev.
Be in the Game
Director
The film is about a new generation of Russian football players. For three years, the authors of the picture watched the heroes' paths to big football: hopes and victories, difficult trials and injuries, inevitable disappointments and sacrifices – all for the sake of fulfilling a common dream of "being in the game" at the 2018 World Cup. The heroes of the film are Alexander Golovin, Roman Zobnin, Alexander Selikhov, Magomed Ozdoev, the Miranchuki brothers.
Rings of the World
Writer
Endowed with outstanding cinematography, and in-depth interviews with competitors, this documentary underlines the gender parity being achieved at an Olympic level. Women compete in ski jumping for the first time at the Winter Games, and Canada is seen beating the United States at the last gasp in the women's ice hockey final. Disciplines given prominence here include speed skating, figure skating, aerial skiing, curling, and the biathlon. Training is analysed as much as the competitions themselves. A suite of accidents and mishaps, and the consequent tears of frustration, remind us that the Olympics is not just about winning.
