Ilya Tomashevich

An exploration of 20th century Russia, following the fusing of the Party and the state after the Russian Civil War, which opened the doors to corruption, resulting in the exiling of the left and right opposition. Described using a combination of historical settings, biographies and masterpieces from Russian avant-garde artists, composers and writers from this period in history.

A 7-year-old girl doesn’t want to know what death is; she learns what kissing is instead. But it is impossible to replace a grandpa who passed away with any kind of kissing.

The Russian North, in the basin of the Mezen River. For decades, spent rocket stages launched from the Plesetsk Cosmodrome have fallen here. The film is based on footage from the 2000s, shot by Chechen, the head of a scrap metal harvesting crew. With obsessive persistence, he spends months groping his way through northern forests and swamps in search of rockets.

A group of young filmmakers gather in a quiet Yerevan park, each carrying their own vision, ego, and unfinished ideas. What starts as a casual meeting slowly turns into a creative clash—stories overlap, perspectives collide, and tensions rise as they attempt to collaborate on a single film. Through silence, gestures, and fragments of imagination, the park becomes a living canvas where art is born, challenged, and reshaped. In the middle of the city’s calm, a deeper question emerges: can true collaboration exist without losing your own voice?
