История
Yevgeny Yufit (also known as Evgenii Iufit, 1961 – 13 December 2016) was a Russian filmmaker, photographer and painter, born in Leningrad. He was a founding member of Russia's Parallel Cinema movement.
Yufit first became famous for his macabre short films, which, like the films of Guy Maddin, often looked as though they had been made during the 1920s or 1930s. In the 1990s, Yufit began making features similar in style to his shorts, with plots often centered on genetic experimentation and pseudoscience. He is often described as a necrorealist. He died on 13 December 2016 in Petergof.

Планета Земля претерпевает аномальное потепление климата. Для защиты биосферы учёные создают расу гуманоидов-терморегуляторов. Подопытные не согласны с возложенной на них миссией. Ученые находят выход: пересадка мозга... Климат на планете восстановлен. Но раса гуманоидов выходит из-под контроля…
Himself
In 2000, Masha Godovannaya curated a programme entitled Avant-Garde Alternatives: An Evolution of American Experimental Film, which went on tour in Russia, making stops in Moscow, St. Petersburg and Yekaterinburg. We visited necro-realist film-maker Yevgeny Yufit at his house beside Lake Seliger, helping him repair the house we stayed in and, in exchange, being lavished with the fresh fish that landed in his nets every day. This film is a tribute to Yufit, who died in St. Petersburg in 2016.
himself
В Апокалипсисе от Иоанна встречается такое понятие, как теплохладный. Гневаясь на Лаодикийскую церковь, Господь говорит с упреком: «Знаю твои дела; ты ни холоден, ни горяч». Холодный, то есть грешник, отрицающий Бога или с ним спорящий, не безнадежен, через покаяние он может придти к спасению, а вот теплый, духовно тлеющий, который при соблюдении ритуала сердцем не верит, — такой человек противен Богу. Панк — это всегда выбор из двух крайностей. Или пить до упаду — или стать заядлым трезвенником. Горячо или холодно. Но никогда не тепло. Герои фильма - три поколения русских панков — от «Автоматических удовлетворителей» до «Порнофильмов».

Преуспевающий художник-анималист, лауреат Государственной премии, в подвале старого дома обнаруживает архив безвестного режиссера-документалиста, трагически погибшего во время съемок археологической экспедиции в африканской пустыне, который позволяет выдвинуть новую гипотезу о причинах перехода предков человека к передвижению на задних конечностях. Параллельно развитию основного сюжета (с художником) идет линия подготовки группы людей гориллоподобной внешности к ограблению банка.

An anthropologist investigates the origins of human evolution. She had suffered a mental trauma during her childhood when her father, a submarine captain, died during the war. This trauma periodically destabilizes her condition. The ghosts of a prehistoric past and a violent death collide in the subconsciousness of the scientist to give birth to an unexpected theory of the origins of human beings.

The necrorealist science fiction plot involves a team of scientists attempting to cross a human being with a tree, and a special unit dispatched to hunt down the zombie-like mutants created in a previous, failed experiment

The protagonist of The Wooden Room is a director of documentaries, who lives with his wife - who is as stoic as he - in an isolated hut in the woods. The director is obsessed by filming marginal events in life. The closer he can get to these events with his camera, the more he becomes involved with them. In the end he falls victim to them. The film, with no dialogue and hardly any sound, is an experimental meditation on the complex, continually-changing relationship between a film-maker and his subject.

Director
An underground short film from a “necrorealist” Russian filmmaker. The film is about sadomasochism, possessed by the idea of death and self-destruction. Evocative of the silent films from the beginning of the 20th century. -https://mubi.com/films/will
Перый пост-советский фильм-пародия. Создан по мотивам знаменитых пырьевских "Трактористов". Начало здесь аналогично - из армии возвращается бравый солдат Клим Ярко. Но дальше начинается нечто иное. Колхоз, в который попадает герой, больше напоминает санаторий или туркемпинг для "новых русских". Все было бы прекрасно, если бы не бандиты, терроризирующие местных жителей. Клим вступает с ними в бой...

Тема кинофильма продолжает работы, снятые на студии «Мжалалафильм» — секретный эксперимент, объединяющий идиллическое и брутальное мужское братство, смещенная цель, иррациональность и героизм поведения.

A three-minute long insight into the life of completely unusual people – a group of pacifists forced into hiding in the cellar of a ruinous house to escape a war tribunal. The difficulties of war are manly endured by the film’s characters. This film, like most of Yufit’s works, shows his love of 1920’s avant garde cinema, which was considered the highest pinnacle in cinematography. The director believes the art of moving pictures was more heartfelt before sound and colour. “The development of technologies is not a particularly positive thing for human existence,” says Yufit. —Arsenals Film Festival
Director
About Sado-masochism, suicide and the irrational nature of the human spirit. The irrationality of the human psyche, sadomasochism and suicide are the leitmotifs of this film. The documentary footage of airplanes and pilots – symbols of courage and honour – become an unexpected counterpoint to the main structure of the film. The combination of documentary footage and poetic storytelling with the inclement northern setting reinforce the ascetic atmosphere of Suicide Monsters and give its self-destructive characters a heroic and noble appearance. —arsenals.lv
Director
One of the most structured of Yufit’s reels with an elaborated montage work. This film combines three diverse worlds in an absurd manner to show the author’s passion for black humour: traditions of the avant garde cinematography of 20s, the social motives of contemporary Russia, and forensic medicine. —arsenals.lv

Violence in the snow! One of the most radical shorts ever made behind the iron curtain, a special document of the Necrorealists' art group, in the former USSR. "Lesorub" (Lumberjack) is a reaction full of energy and morbid rage against the rigid rules of socialist realism - Claus Loeser, Gegenbilder
Director
A young sailor descends from a local train. He goes to a nearby forest, which is full of strange men in medical uniforms behaving in an absurd and eccentric manner. The sailor falls under their influence and masochistically gives himself up to them only to be disemboweled by the werewolf orderlies. The sailor’s last unconscious image is a “white ship sailing towards the horizon”—a Soviet symbol for happiness and joy.
