Film by director Nikita Mikhalkov, continuation of the films "Burnt by the Sun" and "Burnt by the Sun 2: Exodus". 1943, height of Great Patriotic War. Mitya (Oleg Menshikov) found Kotov (Nikita Mikhalkov) in penal battalion standing near the walls of some impregnable Citadel. Drunk General Melezhko gave the battalion an order to attack the fortress, although it was certain death for them. Kotov noticed Mitya and did not want to meet him, so he went into the assault with his battalion a little earlier, and Mitya had to go into heavy fire of enemy because anti-retreat soldiers did not let him back in trench. But neither Kotov no Mitya were killed or injured. After the battle Mitya told Kotov about all that he had done and gave him a gun. Kotov did not kill Mitya. Then Mitya informed him that he was rehabilitated and promoted to the rank of lieutenant general. So General Kotov paid for restoration of his good name with his crippled life. He went back to his home, recollection of which gave him forces to bear all these awful years. But the things that he saw in his home shocked him. All has changed, his fragile world has been ruined. And Kotov has to struggle again. For his name, for his honor, for his Citadel… "Belka and Strelka. Star dogs" is the first Russian full-length computer animation film for children with an opportunity to view it in 3D. Directors: Svyatoslav Ushakov and Inna Evlannikova. Film is based on real events, it is timed to 50th anniversary of flight of mongrels Belka and Strelka on Soviet space ship "Sputnik 5". "A Room and a Half, or a Sentimental Journey to the Homeland". It is a fantasy based on prose of great poet, laureate of Nobel Prize Joseph Brodsky. Poet`s childhood and youth, episodes of his life in emigration, imaginary journey to St. Petersburg, laugh and tears excited by playing of great actors Sergey Yursky and Alisa Freindlich, original animation by a living classic of this genre Andrey Khrzhanovsky, unique newsreel - all of these a viewer can see in "A Room and a Half, or a Sentimental Journey to the Homeland". "Chinese Grandmother". Director Vladimir Tumaev. All the events of this comedy happen in small provincial town, in the yard of old house, which has not been repaired for a long time. The characters of the film are men of modest means, pensioners, whose income is their pension only. And all their thoughts are about "how to survive". Then to one of heroines her sister comes. She is keen on Chinese culture, studies feng shui, adores all these spices and silk cloths. Living in old house, this Chinese Grandmother turns life of old men and women upside down and transforms it into holiday. Actors: Nina Ruslanova, Irina Muravyova, Aleksandr Mikhailov, Vladimir Tolokonnikov, Kira Kreylis-Petrova. "The Priest". The new film of Vladimir Khotinenko tells about Pskov Orthodox Mission. During Great Patriotic War Baltic priests revived church life on occupied territories from Pskov to Leningrad. "We know nothing about life in occupation. We know about heroic resistance, but about everyday life - nothing. Although 50 millions people lived that life, without any information, not knowing who is likely to win a victory. And I devote my film to that people". Prototype of the film`s main character is father Aleksey Ionov, who during the war helped partisans, sheltered Jews, gave clothes and food to prisoners of concentration camp Salaspils. He adopted eight children who lost parents, and his wife Alevtina supported him in all his deeds. "It is not only story of priest`s feat, that missioners performed every day, it is also tale about love of father Aleksandr and Alevtina, - scriptwriter Aleksandr Segen tells. - Yet there has not been such a love story in cinematograph". For the roles of main characters director invited Sergey Makovetsky and Nina Usatova, and at first some things seemed difficult. Director did not see any other actor playing father Aleksandr, but Sergey Makovetsky was younger than his character and Khotinenko do not like artificial "making older". As a result the main character`s age was brought nearer to the actor`s. "Also I was a little afraid that Sergey and Nina Usatova, who plays the priest` wife, will not be harmonious together, - the director tells. - But it turned out that they are a splendid couple!" "Quirks". New romantic comedy by director Levon Gabriadze
is not likely to amaze a viewer with original idea or intricate storyline. But
a viewer can truly enjoy himself and admire at beautiful Milla Jovovich who
speaks Russian with her funny accent and sings "Svadba! Svadba!" Star
of blockbusters "The Fifth Element" and "Resident Evil"
acted in Russian romantic comedy with pleasure in spite of some difficulties
with memorizing Russian text. Milla`s mother, famous soviet actress Galina Loginova,
also acted in the comedy. PROGRAM OF FILM FESTIVALBar, Culture Center, Jovan Tomashevich St., 57 Directorate of the Film Festival retain the right to change the date of demonstration.
