18:00 | Beat Film Festival 2017: Brexitannia |
|
|
|
|
Documentary. UK, Russia 2017, 80 min. Directed by Timothy George Kelly. In English with Russian subtitles. The first documentary on Brexit. On/off. Yes/no. Leave or Remain? While referenda always divide people, Brexit did so in a manner unprecedented in modern British history: old pitted against young, nationalists against migrants, the countryside against the city, and “the people” against “the elite”. But underneath these binaries we find human beings whose individual stories influenced the outcome of this historic and perplexing vote. In the referendum the UK was torn apart by debates over the great themes of our age: migration, waning empires, work and its decreasing relevance in an outsourced world that is becoming ever more automated. Brexitannia is a portrait of a democracy in all its impossible and ugly glory. With subtle force, yet without judgement, it presents the people of a once powerful empire as they negotiate their identities in a world that is changing faster than ever and in which power appears to lie further and further from people’s own hands.

|
|
|

Documentary. Germany 2017, 100 min. Directed by Romuald Karmakar. In German with Russian subtitles. Aficionados of electronic dance music know that Germany remains one of the greatest producers of techno in the world, and that visiting Berlin's infamous nightspot Berghain is the EDM equivalent of making the pilgrimage to Mecca. In the documentary When I Think of Germany at Night (Denk ich an Deutschland in der Nacht), director Romuald Karmakar hammers that point home by focusing on five major DJs who are keeping Teutonic techno alive and well. Speaking — and sometimes freely associating — about the music they make and its evolution over the past decades, international stars like Ricardo Villalobos and Roman Flugel take us behind the turntables to reveal the methods to their madness.Read more

|
|
|
|
Documentary/Biography. USA, UK 2017, 95 min. Directed by Barney Clay. In English with Russian subtitles. The Mick Rock Documentary is an odyssey into the colorful and crazy recesses of rock 'n' roll's history. A reckless joyride that delves deep into the mind of rock's greatest living photographer: Mick Rock. Told through the distorted lens of rock 'n' roll mythology, icon-maker, psychedelic explorer, shambolic poet and custodian of dreams, Mick Rock navigates his story from the glam rock shimmer of London to the snarl of NYC punk, and deep into the new millennium. Awaiting heart surgery after after a series of heart attacks, Mick turns inward to face himself - his past, the present and the future that will be born from the ashes of his resurrection. He stretched his nervous system to the limit to bring us the iconic images of the likes of David Bowie, Syd Barrett, Blondie, Queen, Lou Reed and Iggy Pop. He shot them all and imprinted them on our collective psyche forever. "I'm still in awe of the power of the camera and its magical reflections. In many ways I love it more than ever..." Read more

Documentary. Italy, France, Switzerland 2017, 69min. Directed by Yuri Ancarani. In English with Russian subtitles. The Challenge movie is a strikingly beautiful yet ironic visual poem about present-day Qatar, where century old traditions coexist with fantastic wealth. Remaining detached from his subject matter, the Italian director Yuri Ancarani follows the milieu of Qatar’s “golden youth”, turning documentation of their luxury lifestyle into a sci-fi film of sorts.Read more

11:30, 01:45. Documentary. United Kingdom, Russia, Ukraine, USA 2016, 85 min. Directed by Steven Cantor. In English, Russian and Ukrainian with Russian subtitles. “Dancer” is an ambitious and detailed study of Polunin’s personal and creative life, collected from rare archive materials, family records, and interviews with Polunin, those close to him, and notable ballet professionals. Famous documentary director Steven Cantor focused on Polunin’s extraordinary physical profile and his unique emotional spectrum, which shows through both on stage and in life. A rebel, a genius, and a loner, Polunin created a stir in the ballet world when he became the youngest principal dancer of the London Royal Ballet in history – and then when, at the peak of his career, he unexpectedly left, citing his desire to be independent, free, and not to belong to anyone, even if such a decision would be accompanied by self-destruction. The film also tells about Polunin’s collaboration with famous photographer David LaChapelle, who shot his expressive dancing for the music video for Hozier’s “Take Me To Church,” which became a smash hit practically overnight.
