Welcome to the Sixth Annual Russian Resurrection Film Festival. This year we are ramping up the fun and have designed a program in direct response to popular demand. All your audience feedback forms have been put to good use, and after much anticipation, we are extremely chuffed to announce our 2009 film line-up.
Comedy. You wanted it, and we are delivering it. In fact we are going one step further, presenting the Comedy & Musical Gems Retrospective, featuring the best of Russian Comedy, Musicals, and Musical Comedies from the past 70 years.
This year the festival will also be presenting the best of New Russian Cinema, with “new” being the keyword! On showcase will be not one, but two world premiere features. Do not miss Karen Shakhnazarov’s Ward No. 6 and Nikolay Lebedev’s Soundtrack of Passion. And with UNESCO announcing 2009 as the year of Nikolai Gogol, be sure to see Taras Bulba.
In 2009, Russian Resurrection will for the very first time present a Critic’s Award for Best Film. But you too, can be a part of all the voting experience, by voting online (www.filmink.com.au/vote) for the Filmink Audience Award for Best Film.
It is with great pleasure that we bring you another year of the Resurrection of Russian Cinema. A special thanks to Palace Cinemas and Greater Union (Manuka) in Australia & Mosfilm and Lenfilm Studios in Russia for their ongoing support of Russian Resurrection. And to everyone associated with the festival we raise a shot of vodka, in anticipation of your ongoing support.
Let the Resurrection continue!

Well, here we are in our sixth big year and the films just keep coming. Not only do they keep coming, but they keep getting better and more varied in genre. My thanks must go out to Nick, our festival director, for all his hard work in finding and securing all these great films for us to enjoy every year, and for the enthusiasm he has for this great annual cultural event. I wouldn’t be telling you that you have to come and see films like Hipsters, from festival favourite Todorovsky, or that you must, and I mean must, come to the Epic that is, The Admiral and I definitely wouldn’t be writing that our retrospective of comedies and musicals will lift you out of whatever world financial crisis blues you may be in and give you a smile and a laugh for an hour or two.
So thank you Russian Resurrection and also to our audience for supporting us for so long. Long live the Resurrection!

Russian cinema has been resurrected. Over the past five years or so Russian cinema has exploded with the production of an extraordinary diversity of new films that reinvigorate the classics, explore new technologies, hybridise genres and provide a unique expression of a complex, delicate and constantly reforming national identity. There has been a resurgence of box office receipts, a healthy dialogue with world cinema and the construction of new state-of-the-art cinemas. Russia once again sports a vibrant and dynamic film culture with large budget projects coexisting with intimate auteur visions that are exciting, moving and provocative.
The importance of the Russian Resurrection Film Festival is now being recognised in Russia with a number of new release films enjoying their international premiers in Australia even before their screening in Russia. The 2009 Festival combines a careful selection of the very best of new releases and the outcome of an incredibly difficult process of choosing a representative collection of Soviet comedies. The good thing about this difficulty is that there are still a number of brilliant comedies that will be ready to be screened in the future years.

Taras Bulba (2009) Тарас Бульба
Genre: Historic Epic
Duration: 129 mins
Format: 35mm
Director: Vladimir Bortko
Cast: Bogdan Stupka, Vladimir Vdovichenkov, Mikhail Boyarsky, Vladimir Ilyin, Boris Khmelnitsky, Magdalena Mielcarz, Daniel Olbrychski, Igor Petrenko, Ada Rogovtseva
Although set in 16th century Ukraine, this is a politically topical and highly controversial film that smashed the Russian box-office this year.
The family of the old warrior Taras Bulba finds itself at the centre of political intrigue, betrayal and turmoil that threatens the existence of all Cossacks. Bulba sent his son Andrey to study in Poland to learn the ways of the enemy, but he fell in love with a Polish noblewoman and renounces his motherland. His other son Ostap is captured by the Poles and publically executed. With a fiery speech on brotherhood, Taras Bulba raises an army of Cossacks to fight the Polish oppressors. He is torn between love, loyalty and family but national duty prevails. Against enormous personal tragedy Taras Bulba continues to fight for what he believes in.
This lush, big budget, swashbuckling epic is an adaptation of the famous story by Nikolai Gogol that marks his bicentenary. It is the first Russian version of the film after the famous American adaptation with Yul Brynner and Tony Curtis (1962). |

Hipsters (2008) Стиляги
Genre: Musical Comedy
Duration: 115 mins
Format: 35mm
Director: Valery Todorovsky
Cast: Anton Shagin, Oksana Akinshina, Oleg Yankovsky, Yevgeniya Brik, Sergei Garmash
Awards: Best Film, Best Costume, Best Art Direction (2008 NIKA Awards)
This beautifully filmed, colourful musical is sure to be a festival favourite.
Soviet Russia in the 1950’s is the setting for this stunning new musical from acclaimed director Valery Todorovsky. Mels (Anton Shagin) is a member of the Komsomol, the youth wing of the Communist Party. Polina is a Stilyagi or Hipster, a group of youths who stand out from the rest of their grey dressed comrades with their flashy colourful clothes and love of jazz and American culture. Whilst on a “raid” to break up a Hipster party, Mels chases Polina (Oksana Akinshina, Mothgames), gets thrown in a pond by her and immediately falls in love.
As Mels starts to hang out with the local Hipsters we are taken on a song and dance extravaganza that explores what people will do for love; the love of music, the love of freedom. As Todorovsky has said “Things considered normal in other countries need to be won here through struggle. There were times when walking around in coloured socks was a heroic deed. And this is not a problem of today, but an eternal problem.” |

We’re from the Future (2008) Мы из Будущего
Genre: Adventure/War
Duration: 110 mins
Format: Digital
Director: Andrei Maliukov
Cast: Danila Kozlovskii, Vladimir Iaglych, Andrei Terent’ev, Dmitri Volkostrelov, Daniil Strakhov, Ekaterina Klimova, Boris Gal’kin, Sergei Iushkevich, Sergei Makhovikov
The action takes place in sunny, groovy present day St.Petersburg and during the fierce defence of the city in 1942. Four friends, a student, a skinhead, a geeky gamer and a rapper make their cash looking for Nazi relics from WWII. Motivated by greed they are hip, cynical and have no respect for the past. During a dig they stumble upon a bombed out bunker full of valuable treasures but also something strange. Among the documents belonging to a Red Army officer they find a photograph of themselves. Trying to come to their senses they dive into a nearby lake and surface… to a spray of gunfire in 1942.
This rite-of-passage time travel drama was a box office hit with its fantastical recreation of the War from the perspective of today’s youth, a dynamic modern soundtrack, robust performances and a romance that blossoms under fire. |

Ward No 6 (2009) Палата No 6
Genre: Black Comedy
Duration: 83 mins Format: 35mm
Director: Karen Shakhnazarov Cast: Vladimir Ilin, Aleksei Vertkov, Aleksei Zarkov, Alexander Pankratov - Cherni, Evgeni Stichkin Awards: Best Actor, Vladimir Ilyin (XXXI Moscow International Film Festival)
Dr Ragin, the Chief Psychiatrist at a certain Psychiatric Hospital, is initially dismissive of the plight of his patients. However when he discovers Gromov, a patient with an absolutely original philosophical outlook, Ragin becomes fascinated and spends hours locked in debate with this unique mind, shunning the company of others. Eventually Ragin ends up as a miserable patient in his own Hospital. Ward No.6 (Karen Shakhnazrov’s most recent film following last year’s Vanished Empire) is based on a story by Anton Chekhov. The script is an amusing collage full of riddles, paradoxes and anxieties.
Although it's one of Chekhov’s more pessimistic stories, it is definitely his most life-affirming. With his propensity towards loneliness, estrangement and introspection, Doctor Ragin can be considered as one of the key figures not only in Chekhov’s works, but also in world literature of the 20th Century. Shakhnazarov has consciously moved the story into the present day mixing documentary and fiction. The film was shot in a real life psychiatric clinic with the patients performing alongside the professional actors. It premiered at the Moscow Film Festival in June 2009 and its International Premiere is at Russian Resurrection 2009.
WINNER!

Admiral(2008) Адмиралъ
Genre: Historic Epic
Duration: 124 mins
Format: 35mm
Director: Andrei Kravchuk
Cast: Konstantin Khabenskiy, Elizaveta Boyarskaya, Sergei Berzukov, Vladislav Vetrov, Anna Kovalchuk, Egor Beroyev, Richard Bohringer, Oleg Fomin
Awards: Best Actor, Konstantin Khabenskiy (Golden Eagle Awards)
Censorship Exemption: Children under the age of 15 to be accompanied by an adult.
Admiral is the new offering from Andrei Kravchuk who directed the charmingly intimate The Italian (2005). Admiral is a love story set in one of the most turbulent times in Russian history 1916 – 1920. Aleksandr Vasil’evich Kolchak is a Rear Admiral in the Russian Navy during World War I who is in love with Anna Timireva, the wife of his junior officer and friend Sergei Timirev. This is a historical film of epic proportions reminiscent of Dr Zhivago (1965), alternating between the grandeur of turn of the century Russia and first-rate action sequences. Kolchak is a naval hero, a man who leads his men with prayer and personal courage. When Tsar Nicholas II abdicates during the Revolution of 1917 he resigns his commission and eventually becomes the Supreme Commander of exiled Russian forces in Siberia during the Russian Civil War. This big budget epic has become one of the most controversial films of recent years, spurring much debate as to the role that Kolchak played in Russian history and the film’s themes of honour, patriotism, religious devotion, and the triumph of love over all catastrophes. |

Morphine (2008) Морфий
Genre: Drama
Duration: 110 mins
Format: 35mm
Director: Aleksei Balabanov.
Cast: Leonid Bichevin, Ingeborga Dapkūnaitė, Andrei Panin, Sergei Garmash, Alexei Istomin
It is 1917. Polyakov, a handsome young Russian doctor arrives at a small village hospital. He has little experience having freshly graduated from medical school but he is the only doctor in the entire district. The hospital is surprisingly well resourced and Polyakov works hard, earning the respect of his small staff as he heals the sick from all over the district. After an allergic reaction to a diphtheria vaccination, his nurse gives him morphine to negate the effects. This is the appropriate medication, but Polyakov underestimates the drug’s power and his own weakness. He gradually slips into addiction as the country around him slides into the horrors of civil war. This moody, stunningly detailed and beautiful film is based on the semi-autobiographical short stories by Mikhail Bulgakov who worked as a country doctor during the civil war. |

Nobody But Us (2008) Никто кроме нас
Genre: Drama
Duration: 110 mins
Format: 35mm
Director: Sergei Govorukhin
Cast: Sergei Shnyryov, Mariya Mironova, Sergei Makhovikov, Yuri Belyayev, Ludmilla Titova Evgeny
Evgeny Levaschov is a soldier in the Russian army fighting in the Tajikistan war of the 1990’s. Seriously wounded, he returns temporarily to civilian life where he meets and falls in love with Natasha. She is the woman of his dreams, the person he has been searching for all his life. But his timing could not be worse as he has to go back to the front again in just two short weeks. During these two weeks Evgeny resolves to take his camera back with him and document his experiences to show the war for what it is: a cruel and futile act of violence. He risks his new found happiness in love to set off on a journey which may be his last. Nobody But Us is a film about love and destiny, confronting the cruelty of war with moments of happiness in love. This is the first feature from Sergei Govorukhin, a military journalist who lost a leg while filming in Chechnya. |

Wild Field (2008) Дикое Поле
Genre: Comedic Drama
Duration: 108 mins
Format: 35mm
Director: Mikhail Kalatozishvili
Cast: Oleg Dolin, Roman Madyanov, Yuri Stepanov, Alexander Korshunov, Alexander Ilyn, Alexander Ilyn Jnr, Daniela Stoyanovich
Awards: Golden Star (Best Film, 2008 Marrakech International Film Festival), FIPRESCI Prize & Award of Ecumenical Jury (Cottbus Film Festival of European Cinema), Best Film, (Golden Eagle Awards), Best Actor (2008 NIKA Awards)
Wild Field tells the story of Mitya, the only doctor on a remote outpost in the mysterious and poetic Kazakh steppe. With barely any medical supplies, a handful of herbs and great compassion, he deals with a series of increasingly bizarre medical situations thrown at him by the locals. From being stuck in the middle of a shoot-out, to a man struck by lightning, to a cow who has swallowed a tablecloth - the detached, resourceful Mitya and his damaged patients battle the harsh natural elements arising from the silence of the steppes. The isolation, the loneliness of their existence is hilarious and tragic at the same time. And just who is keeping watch over Mitya from the distant hills? Directed by Mikhail Kalatozishvili, the grandson of the great Soviet director Mikhail Kalatozov (The Cranes are Flying, 1958) Wild Field is Russian cinema at its best. This quiet, reflective, existential film serves as a timely reminder that no matter where you live, life is chaotic, uncertain and although terrifying at times, still essentially beautiful. |

You’ll just have to come and discover the magic of Fedot to find out. |

Soundtrack of Passion (2009) Фонограмма Страсти
(includes Q&A with Director Nikolai Lebedev)
Genre: Thriller
Duration: 100 mins
Format: 35mm
Director: Nikolai Lebedev
Cast: Fabio Fulko, Elena Nikolaeva, Sergei Garmash, Nina Usatova, Svetlana Toma, Anatoly Belyi, Nikolai Machulskii, Olga Litvinova, Alexander Buharov
Facts: World Premiere – Russian Resurrection 2009
Director Nikolai Lebedev (of The Star and Wolfhound fame) takes viewers on a fast-paced suspense ride from start to finish. Mystery, intrigue, and passion mix in a blend of double-cross and betrayal, as Vita, an employee of a private spy agency, is handed a case of tapping into and listening to the mysterious life of a new “client”. By day, her work on the case seems all the more routine; by night she’s involved in a steamy and passionate affair. The film takes an unexpected turn when Vita realises that the man with whom she is having an affair is not the man she thought he was. From this point on nothing is what it seems, as Vita becomes entangled in a deadly game of cat and mouse.
Soundtrack of Passion is being called Russia’s first ever erotic-thriller. It is a penetrating story of passion and betrayal; taking its characters to the verge of sanity and to the brink of disaster, where every step spells deadly danger. |

Director: Gregory Aleksandrov
Cast: Lyubov Orlova, Evgeniya Melnikova, Vladimir Volodin, Sergei Stolyarov

When she falls in love with a Russian aerialist, her manager tries to blackmail her by revealing that she has given birth to a child out of wedlock, and that the baby is black! His plot backfires when she finds happiness and acceptance among the tolerant Soviet people. A daring attempt to reinvent the American musical comedy format for Soviet audiences became a box office sensation and one of Stalin’s favourite films. |

This acclaimed collective farm musical comedy draws from Russian folklore to celebrate the myth of shared prosperity and female emancipation. A love story between two collective farm chairpersons develops against the backdrop of the Kuban region where the sun is always shining and the peasants live in beautiful, spacious houses. Farm labour appears as a bright spectacle with the peasants singing and dancing as they work. A brilliant insight into the post war period that was so full of optimism and united nation building. |

Window to Paris (1994) Окно в Париж
Genre: Comedy
Duration: 91mins
Format: 35mm
Director: Yuri Mamin
Cast: Agnes Soral, Sergei Dontsov,
Viktor Mikhaylov, Nina Usatova
Awards: Nominated for Best Film (1994 NIKA Awards)
Censorship Classification: (M) - Low Level Course Language
Yuri Mamin’s international hit is an endearing, absurd cross-cultural comedy that caricatures Russian and French national stereotypes. The inhabitants of a communal apartment in St Petersburg discover a hidden window in the back of a wardrobe that magically transports them to Paris. Naturally, they all charge across to experience the good life. Paris is cast as materialistic and decadent in contrast to the spiritual, but decaying Russian culture with its backwardness and drunkenness the source of most jokes. A scathing critique of blind materialism this is a highly original comic masterpiece.

The Fountain (1988) Фонтан
Genre: Comedy
Duration: 100 mins
Format: 35mm
Director: Yuri Mamin
Cast: Asankul Kuttubayev, Alexei Zalivalov, Sergei Dontsov, Viktor Mikhaylov, Nina Usatova
A timeless, biting satire of perestroika, that centres on a number of highly peculiar characters and their increasingly absurd life in an apartment building that is rapidly falling apart. The roof caves in and the residents, having failed to solicit any official support, are forced to hold it up with Communist placards and their own shoulders while being fed vodka for their efforts. Capturing the horrors of everyday life, Mamin’s ridiculous, grotesque, beautiful film is a celebration of communal spirit struggling against absurd disaster.

Peculiarities of the National Hunt (1995) Особенности национальной охоты
Genre: Comedy
Duration: 93 mins
Format: 35mm
Director: Alexander Rogozhkin
Cast: Ville Khaapasalo, Viktor Bychkov, Sergei Ruskin, Alexei Buldakov, Sergei Kuprianov
Awards: Best Film (1996 NIKA Awards), Nominated Crystal Globe for Best Film, (1995 Karlovy Vary International Film Festival)
A Finnish student is writing a book about traditional Russian hunting rituals from the time of the tsars to the present. He joins a seemingly serious hunting party led by a gruff Army general and his friends. The colourful group’s good intentions soon give way to endless drinking rituals, visits to local farm girls, more drinking and absurd encounters with baby bears and livestock that turn the hunt into a comedy of errors. The high jinx of drunken revelry gives an insight into the incomprehensible Russian soul. |

Afonya (1975) Афоня
Genre: Comedy
Duration: 92 mins
Format: 35mm
Director: Georgi Daneliya
Cast: Leonid Kuravlyov, Yevgenia Simonova, Evgenii Leonov, Borislav Brondukov, Valentina Talyzina.
Afonya was one of the most popular comedies made in Soviet Russia, with more than 62.2 million ticket sales on release. It tells of a locksmith, named Borshev (nicknamed Afonya) who enjoys nothing more than drinking with his buddies. So much so, that his wife leaves him, he is put on notice at work, and before his very eyes his whole life starts falling apart. Not all seems lost however, as Afonya falls in love with a nurse named Katya, who somehow manages to see hope for the drunken bugger. Afonya will have you laughing out loud and maybe shedding a tear as well. |

And then…you might find yourself dining with Pope Alexander VI, the Queen of France Catherine Medici and Emperor Nero caught up in a world history of poisoning. All this really happens in Karen Shakhnazarov’s bizarre and fantastical black comedy. |
