Beauty & Decay
Camera Operator
Sven Marquardt might be the most famous bouncer worldwide. But beside standing in front of the legendary techno club Berghain in Berlin, he is also a well-known and skilled photographer. Long before the Berlin Wall came down, Marquardt portrayed the subcultural East-Berlin scene. His black and white photography illustrates it as voluptuous, laid-back, dirty and existential. Even if shot by daylight, his work is permeated by darkness, ecstasy and night.

Кино — общественное дело
Camera Operator
Кинопутешествие в мир Наума Клеймана и его соратников. Клейман, всемирно известный специалист по творчеству С. Эйзенштейна и до недавнего момента директор Музея кино в Москве, — один из самых видных интеллектуалов в сегодняшней России. Он верит, что с помощью кино можно сделать свободнее и благороднее и отдельную личность, и общество в целом. С 1989 года в музее представлялась не доступная ранее советскому и российскому зрителю классика мирового кино. Для многих Музей кино стал важным местом культурного общения. Но впоследствии судьба музея, неразрывно ассоциировавшегося с именем Клеймана, сложилась, как известно, драматично. И фильм, среди героев которого и соратники Клеймана, и просто москвичи, становится документальным коллажем, отражающим действительность сегодняшней России.
