The Province of Lost Film is a film about employees of the former distribution and exhibition network, projectionists, and viewers from central Russia who reflect upon the unique and already bygone experience of the Soviet experiment of cinefication, which sought to bring the screen to every corner of the Soviet Union.
The Photographer is a film about Riazan photographer Evgeny Kashirin (1949-2007) and a triptych about a dying rural life, a train that crawls from town to town, and the story of a man who traded his wife for a marble statue of Judith.
