Anton Adasinsky

Once upon a time, a mysterious stranger visits a tavern with his unusual barrel organ and gives a scary musical performance to the beggars within.

Reflections of the shift worker Ivan, who, due to life circumstances, overcomes more than 9000 km to return home. On his way he meets many interesting people: military, students, mothers with children, men, women, old people. The landscapes outside the window, time zones, people are changing. But their stories remain, stories about life, love, hope and faith.

A young guy Sasha runs into a second-class car of a long-distance train with a guitar in a case. He, like many other musicians, tried to conquer Moscow, but failed. Sasha settles in a compartment to an adult shift officer Ivan returning home. For a long time on the way, the heroes manage to make friends, write songs, create their own musical group and perform on the platforms in several cities. But what will happen to their group when Ivan leaves at his station?

Leningrad, one summer in the early eighties. Smuggling LPs by Lou Reed and David Bowie, the underground rock scene is boiling ahead of the Perestroika. Mike and his beautiful wife Natasha meet with young Viktor Tsoï. Together with friends, they will change the destiny of rock’n’roll in the Soviet Union.

A look at the story through the prism of the present. Artists in front of the audience reincarnate in the heroes of the film (the poet Vladimir Mayakovsky; the women he loved and left him; the friends who admired him and backed away from him; the ruthless “Knights of the Revolution” who proclaimed him his banner) and lead the viewer “to” Mayakovsky, forcing him to live his love, creative, and human drama as his own.

The early Middle Ages. A time of heavy swords and dark blood law. The ruling clan is in discord. The guilt for the accidental death of the brother has fallen on the Grand Duke. According to the law, revenge must be taken by the younger brother, a bastard. For the refusal to kill, he has to pay with eve- rything he had, because “for peace you need more swords than for a war”...

Faust inhabits an earthy, 19th-century world of primitive autopsies and medical rituals. He becomes obsessed with the beautiful Margarete and desperately turns to a physically grotesque moneylender to conjure their union.

One time you find yourself in a park, on a bench, looking into space, and for a second you forget which country you are in, whether it's morning or evening; you are pierced by a pang of loneliness, your heart becomes light and sad, what is important separates out from all the noise of the world, and the slipping, sliding shadows fill with meaning profound... Words come to mind... "South. Border" is my present to myself, a little window to the house I will never be able to build, a house of silver and light.

Documentary — featuring both interviews and live footage — about underground rock music in Russia, during the last years of the Perestroika.

An entertaining show featuring various artists. A wise parrot teaches Maxim Leonidov - the leader of 'Secret', a very popular group at the time - how to become a star.

The musical film by director, actor, musician and choreographer Anton Adasinsky was created at the junction of cinema, music, theater and video art. This is a fairy tale-parable, where the theme of Dante's "Divine Comedy" is intertwined with reality. A fairy tale for children and adults. Only Children and Birds can get to the place where the World Clock broke. Taking the magic notes with them, they, having passed through all the adversities and obstacles, will find themselves at the goal. But is it necessary to fix the Running of Time? Maybe not to rush to grow up?
