Drama/Biography. USA 2016, 100 min. Directed by Don Cheadle. Starring: Don Cheadle, Emayatzy Corinealdi, Ewan McGregor. In the midst of a prolific career, Miles Davis disappears from public view for a period of five years in the late 1970s. He lives in isolation while dealing with chronic pain from a deteriorating hip, a musical voice inhibited and numbed by drugs and painkillers, and traumatic memories of his past. A music reporter, Dave Braden, forces his way into Davis' house and, over the next couple of days, the two men unwittingly embark on an adventure to recover a stolen tape recording of the musician's most recent compositions. Davis' mercurial behavior is fueled by memories of his failed marriage to the talented and beautiful dancer Frances Taylor. During their romance and subsequent marriage, Frances served as Davis' muse. It was during this period that he released several of his signature recordings, including Sketches of Spain (1960) and "Someday My Prince Will Come" (1961). The eight-year marriage was marked by infidelity and abuse, however, and Frances was forced to flee for her own safety as Miles' mental and physical health deteriorated. By the late 1970s, plagued by years of regret and loss, Davis flirts with self-destruction until he once again finds redemption in his music.. Awards and festivals: Palm Springs Internarional Film Festival - A Director to Watch Award; Cleveland International Film Festival - participation; Glasgow International Film Festival - participation.

When he comes back online, a dangerous game between the two begins, and constantly threatens to spin out of control. Paul Verhoeven (“Basic Instinct,” “Total Recall,” “Robocop”) returns with a new thriller, a sinister erotic comedy about sadomasocism, suppressed instincts, and social taboos.

Documentary. USA 2016, 90 min. Directed by Andrew Rossi. In English with Russian subtitles. Every year, at the beginning of May, the Metropolitan Museum in New York plans one of the biggest events in the fashion world – the Met Gala, dedicated to the biggest exhibit of the year. In 2015, the event was dedicated to the exhibit “China: Through the Looking Glass,” which studied the influence of Chinese culture on the worlds of fashion and art, and which became one of the most-visited exhibits in the history of the Costume Institute. The exhibit also presented a unique opportunity for the American and European cinema worlds: the films in the exposition were chosen personally by Wong Kar Wai. “The First Monday in May” shows one of the most important events in worldwide fashion culture through the eyes of the gala’s organizers – the editor-in-chief of American Vogue, Anna Wintour, and the curator of the Costume Institute Andrew Bolton. The gala’s main participants are the world’s leading designers, actors, musicians, and models, including Rihanna, Beyoncé, Sara Jessica Parker, Kim Kardashian, Lady Gaga, Jean-Paul Gaultier, John Galliano, and others.
