Thirteen months

Ilya Noyabryov, 2008
Successful businessman Gleb Ryazantsev suddenly realizes that he has spent the best years to become a proper guy. Even his family life is nothing more than an effective bargain. In a desperate attempt to start his life from the fresh Gleb leaves home, getting into a vertigo of mystics and criminality, friendship and love. But quitting the vicious circle is not so simple… “Thirteen months” is an ironic and somewhat lyrical criminal drama, telling that escaping from problems and duties is much more difficult than it seems…

Sappho

Robert Crombie, 2007
The 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 fear

Aleksandr Kiriyenko, 2008
Story 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.

Casting

Oleksandr Shapiro, 2008
The main idea of the film is that actors invited for casting have no idea that materials of the casting itself are linked into a single drama chain, which constitutes the core of the film. 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.
