Art, the world: other Russian and Soviet films (1966-1996)

The "other" stories of Russian and Soviet cinema are subterranean and passionate for art and for filming the world: visitors contemplating Leonardo's Madonna Litta at the Hermitage; landscapes, ruins and the romantic look of the French painter Hubert Robert filmed by Sokurov; the visual universe of Paradjanov recreating his favourite artist and paintings (Hovnatian, Pirosmani); some kids contemplating -with fear, happiness and raptures- a puppet show. Faces, painters, paintings; the audience/the spectator, the artist, the filmmaker.
