About The Riot of the Executioners
In 1949, before the celebration of Stalin's 70th anniversary, disabled veterans of the Second World War were shot in the former USSR. The state could not even provide them with an elementary existence and simply destroyed them. Some of them were shot, some were taken to the far islands of the North and to the remote corners of Siberia. The film reproduces a possible story of such a destruction of crippled soldiers in one of Stalin's camps. Combat commander Alexei finds his old military friend, who must also be shot. A real riot begins...
Directed by Genādijs Zemels, The Riot of the Executioners leans on a strong ensemble — Aleksey Shemes, Sergej Ufimcev, Igor Gorshkov — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 1998.

6.6Vanya on 42nd Street
1994 6.6
An uninterrupted rehearsal of Chekhov's 'Uncle Vanya' plays out by a company of actors. The setting: their run-down theater with an unusable stage and crumbling ceiling. The play is shown act by act with the briefest of breaks to move props or for refreshments. The lack of costumes, real props and scenery is soon forgotten.
