Sergei Ovcharov

Funny and very original animation/acted fiction film that brings Egyptian frescos to life.

IFFR 2000

Pharaoh, 

main programme short

Pharaoh

Film with no dialogue: about a naive and good man, a Buster Keaton type, who gets a drum from a dead man and roams post-totalitarian Russia with it. It reflects the chaos and disillusionment of that period.

IFFR 1999

Barabaniada, 

after the fall of the wall

Barabaniada

A catchy and cheerful caper of Russian folk tales.
