THE GIFT
Directed by Dalmira Tilepbergen
Arno is the fifth daughter in a Kyrgyz family. Her parents dreamt of a son, so Arno is trying to play the role of the boy, to please her father. The fact is that the birth of a son is still considered a celebration day in traditional Kyrgyz families, while daughters are far less desirable; this is often evidenced by the girls’ names, which translate as “mistake", “enough”, “dedication to the son”. Studying the world and trying to be just like the boys around her, Arno is trying to understand matters and issues, to which even her parents have no answers. Why is their way of life so unfair to women, to what extent our desires determine our life and reality? We follow the fate of Arno and her family against the backdrop of a breathtaking and harsh landscape, inevitably realizing how fragile their world is.
Stanislavski
Directed by Yuliya Bobkova
The story about Konstantin Sergeevich Stanislavsky – genius of the 20th century, who managed to keep his inner freedom and a true artistry within the harsh boundaries of the Soviet system - all thanks to the power of his talent. In this movie we talked to modern theatrical and movie directors, such as Kirill Serebrennikov, Katie Mitchell, Lev Dodin and others, about Stanislavsky influence on their day-to-day work on stage and on set.
Every one of them sees their reflections and a part of their souls in the mirror of Stanislavsky genius. While searching for the answer of the relevancy of Stanislavsky in the modern theatre, our characters find out that the modern art lacks its main component – the human being.
