Ivan Lebedev

Waking up in a bungalow by the ocean, our hero does not remember where he came from or how he got here. Day by day, he is becoming more and more hopeless. People who meet on the way do not understand a word of what he says and cannot give answers to his questions. A psychologist, neighbors, a new friend cannot help him, because the answer lies not outside, but inside.

The film is about the long-term relationship between the director and the character of her first film, the French indie artist, musician and director Siegfried, known as Sig. The story is dedicated to the experience of growing up, emancipation and finding their own identity in life and in art. The film raises questions about the nature of the student-teacher relationship, which inevitably involves submission and conflict, and the nature of the director and hero relationship, which is based on love and a little manipulation.

Petersburg. A Selfie comprises seven novellas about the beautiful city of St. Petersburg, Russia, shot by female directors. The film tells a story of a real, living and breathing city, rather than a mythical phantasm. Each novella tells its own story about love and loneliness, luck and hope.

Lesha Shultes, a pickpocket, leads the ordinary life of an average urban creature. The only extraordinary thing about Shultes is that he carries a little notebook with him and notes down everything. This minimalist drama of a 'small man' in a metropolis delivers an existential message with a distinct Russian flavour.

Where does true love begin? At a glance? With mutual sympathy? A random gesture at a trolleybus stop? Or, perhaps, with ordinary stupidity? Polina and Sasha met on an ordinary autumn morning. It was a good morning to meet: she had a bag of lollipops in her hands, and he had a pen and a notebook to write that she was very beautiful. And so it has been since then: he wrote, and she read. Until suddenly it turned out that you can talk without a piece of paper.

The film details the early years of the legendary Siberian Punk/Rock group 'Гражданская Оборона' (Grazhdanskaya Oborona), and its frontman, Egor Letov.
