Two
This movie marks the understanding of cinema as an extra-human effort and finds cinema beyond the human, somewhere on the territory of its non-existence.
Group Portrait of Loneliness
In this film, Edward Sheglanov wanted to present a person as an element of language, and see how a sign lives. The film came together spontaneously, influenced by charming stories about the jazz improvisation of Cassavetes’ films. The author associates this image with the beginning of the garrulous and fruitless 1990s.

Télemaque
An attempt to express the relationship between space and the ability to reflect it. The result of these relations can be considered the non-representational nature of space, as a tangible form, and the tendency of space to have consciousness. We are talking about "inward-directed" vision and "outward-directed" vision. Hence the abandonment of normal voice acting in favor of the aesthetics of silent cinema; on the audio track you will only hear the recorded crackle of a film projector and the quiet off-screen conversations of some people. The film is based on Andrei Platonov's story "The Potudan River", the film adaptation of which for Edward Shelganov, as well as for Alexander Sokurov, became a debut in cinema.
