Documentary. UK 2015, 136 min. Directed by Adam Curtis. Starring: George Walker Bush, George Bush, Joanne Herring. This documentary takes on a daunting challenge, making a two-hour dive into the troubling history of western relations with Afghanistan over the past 50 years. The film starts with the doomed dam projects of the 1950s that sought to remake southern Afghanistan in America’s image, then looks at ill-fated Soviet efforts to transform the country, and finally returns to castigate Washington’s second attempt at social and economic engineering. Drawing from the deep pool of the BBC archive footage, the film is a hypnotic collection of rare snippets from the war-torn country: A mesmering meditation on What Went Wrong in the country torn by war, violence, and in the long run – the attempts to restore peace. Public Talk with Adam Curtis and Andrey Loshak before the show (June, 2, 20:00 Strelka Institute).

Documentary. Switzerland, France, Belgium 2016, 90 min. Directed by Pierre Morath. Starring: Bobbi Gibb, Kathrine Switzer, Noël Tamini. Only 50 years ago, distance running was a Puritan and elitist activity reserved for men. Those who went out running in nature in their free time were seen at best as eccentric and at worst as dangerous. But within the tumult of the 60s, the sport became an act of freedom and self-expression, gradually changing the face of the world. ‘Free to Run’ tells the amazing story of the running movement over the past 50 years, through first-hand accounts, as well as rich and rare historical footage. It is the story of the right to run, and an exciting exploration of the revolutionary social change that made that freedom possible.

Documentary. Ukraine 2016, 96 min. Directed by Dmitry Lavrinenko. Starring: Leonid Fyodorov. An amazing, deeply intimate collage about outstanding Russian musician Leonid Fedorov. Rare archival footage, profoundly personal stories: from the making of the first solo album at the freezing cold, unheated Leningrad Documentary Film Studio, and drinking vodka with his fans, to the death of Fedorov’s father. And above all this: the stern and dark Saint Petersburg’s water and fire, tracing a thorny way of an artist, his boldness to leave the comfort zone, his search for poetry of the soul.
