V. Silvestrov
Producer
There is a rumor in the Kyiv musical community: once upon a time, in private conversation, Queen Elizabeth II mentioned Valentyn Silvestrov as one of her favorite composers of the modern age. The Royal Press Office hasn’t confirmed it, so no one knows for sure. But the stature of Silvestrov justifies this rumor. Highly respected by the world’s best music professionals, he remains a mystery for a wide audience. The documentary is far from a traditional biopic about a prominent person. It is an observation, a confession and, most of all, a story of great talent set against the backdrop of uncertain times.
Pryvoz
Producer
The film documents the life of one of the oldest and largest European markets. Passion on both sides of the counter, loaders’ dreams, hidden fantasies of fish sellers… Security guards and flea market manager share their thoughts about the universe and the meaning of life. The past, the present, the future, and other gypsy predictions, “the most correct weight” and generous portions on trial. There are all the kinds of town folks at the Pryvoz. They are exposed and revealed! Everybody comes here, and everyone finds something to him/herself. Someone who searches for miracles or metamorphoses – in destiny, human soul, and time – also would not go out of there with empty hands.
National Museum
Producer
A "direct cinema" documentary that explores the art and inner workings of the major art institution in Kyiv, Ukraine. Two special exhibitions - one dedicated to the Ukrainian baroque and another one to a prominent avant-garde artist - are the two defining events in the film's narrative.
Bazyl
Producer
Oleh Bazylevych, the favorite forward of Kyiv Dynamo fans, could have remained just a player in the history of Ukrainian football. But he decided to become a coach. And it was the beginning of the new page for him. The story of Bazylevych's life reminds the action novel with its dangerous rises, terrific falls, extraordinary voyages, and mystery adventures.
Michail and Daniel
Producer
Michail is an artist. He is working on a series of paintings called "Franz Kafka's Diary". His son Daniel is thirty-four, and yet his life is hardly separable from the life of his father. He is deaf and mute, and suffers from a severe form of cerebral palsy. Michail is determined and energetic, Daniel - persistent and charismatic. And they are a striking couple. The film offers a detailed observation of two interconnected characters.
Delta
Producer
White winter blizzard covers everything. We can rely now only on saints, on our prayers. The future has sailed away, with us left behind. Astray, we did not board the magic ship. The task at hand is simple — not to perish in the fog, not to die from the cold, not to get trapped under the ice. Not to fall in our own snares. Or are we all in one big trap anyway? Running around in a small circle, counting those who vanished.
Junk
Producer
Where geography and common sense doesn't work, there is a place for him. This is a story about a person who has everything. It is not quite the same we used to imagine as the products of contemporary system of values. Living on the edge between alcoholic dreams and awakenings Fenik has found his niche. The only reason to worry about is that scrap metal will be gone soon.
