SapphoRobert Crombie, 2007The film "Sappho. Love without limits" is a provocative, passionate and enthralling love story, set on a Greek island of Lesbos in the 1920’s. The movie is centered on a modern love triangle between a newly-wed American couple, Sappho and Phil, and the daughter of a Russian émigré archaeologist, Helene. This love triangle repeats the central situation of the ancient Greek poetess Sappho's most famous lyric of thwarted sexual desire. As our three lovers live out a complex and scandalous ménage a trios, the present and the past seem to merge together, leading our modern Sappho to an act which repeats the passionate death of the ancient poetess. |

Illusion of fearAleksandr Kiriyenko, 2008Story of a successful businessman, who has to protect his business in difficult conditions. He gets entrapped into the net of law enforcement structures (illegal arrest, physical tortures, demands to “share”, incarceration, forced signature of blank mandates etc.). After arrest the protagonist starts to notice weird things: some of his interlocutors appear to be not real persons, but phantoms, created by his consciousness. Fantomness, dematerialization of things that are obvious for common sence brings the author to the next stage of thinking – that the illusion of fear is also fruit of our imagination. |

The film consists of 36 episodes and that is 36 actor performances. “Casting” – is the mosaics of situations, which reflect various sides of Kyiv life and separate individuals inside this life. |
