About Not for the River
Nadya is a talented pianist. She lives on an island and is in love with Misha, her neighbor, the owner of a motor boat. Music teacher Vera Sergeevna, having learned about Nadya’s talent, offers to give her music lessons. Nadya persuades Misha to take her to town for lessons on his boat.
Directed by Alisa Khmelnitskaya, Not for the River leans on a strong ensemble — Inna Stepanova, Alexandra Drochneva, Evgeny Konstantinov — 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 2017.

6.2Salomé
2013 6.2
After the lewd and frenetic Dance of the Seven Veils, and with the solemn pledge from the very lips of Herod himself that she could have whatever her heart desires up to half his kingdom, wanton and proud young Salomé comes before her king with an unreasonable demand. Beguiled by John the Baptist, and then scorned for the sake of his god, lascivious Salomé—encouraged by her mother, the vindictive, Herodias—commands that John be executed and his head delivered on a silver platter.

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.
