Five aspiring directors, five short stories about the discovery of cinema. Each short story is an independent story exploring how cinema begins, how it influences us and where the line between the screen and reality lies. The film almanac has the widest range of genres, themes, geography of authors, time of action and even frame format. It can be a short sketch from the set, where the lighting technician suddenly changes places and importance with the most influential auteur director; preparation for the first film screening in Rus'; a conversation between friends immediately after the film; a story of a difficult choice between creative freedom and a career; and finally, a free interpretation of the 1986 film about the life of a simple fisherman from Kaliningrad.

Comedy with no ambitions to be more — and that's honest. It gets laughs not through subtlety but through recognition. The director knows their audience and delivers.
A well-executed light comedy is its own skill. They managed it here. Not brilliant, but honest and good-natured.
Good for watching with friends or family. Solo viewing works too, just less.
Director: Maria Salyukova
