Many many words have been written and a few ingenious TV documentaries have been filmed about the great Russian rock band Auktyon, which recently celebrated 30 years of playing music. Everything is completely different in the case of the film Encore: it took seven years for the director, Dmitry Lavrinenko, to make it; he needed just that amount of time to capture the wayward grace still preserved by Fyodorov, Garkusha, Ozersky and their associates. If you look behind the powerful music facade, you find not a story of a band but chronicles of a voyage aimed at incredible, incomparable music. Encore shows how the songs which are now known by heart were composed; it also shows things generally left aside: pieces of everyday life, tour diaries, conversations, including the key phrase: "You should not look at the liberty too much, you might feel dizzy.

Since ancient times, Altai has been the cradle of countless peoples and tribes, the birthplace of conquerors, and the source of myths and legends. Altai is a unique cauldron in which different nationalities have mixed, and it is not for nothing that it is called the "crossroads of civilizations." The world of the ancient Scythians, Turks, Huns and many others was tempered and forged into a special ethnic group. This film tells about the interweaving of religions, nationalities, cultures and about the present day of Altai.
