An evening with Konstantin Lopushansky will take place at "Order of Words": a screening of the film "Ugly Ducklings" based on the works of the Strugatsky brothers and the presentation of the new book "Last Times". The program includes a screening of the film "Ugly Ducklings," adapted from the novella of the same name by Arkady and Boris Strugatsky. The film immerses viewers in the atmosphere of a ghost town, where mysterious "wet ones"-creatures straddling the line between myth and science fiction-work in a boarding school for gifted children. This film, which has long been a topic of discussion, will resonate particularly symbolically in the year marking the centenary of Arkady Strugatsky's birth. After the screening, there will be a presentation of the book "Last Times" published by Aletheia. The evening will combine cinema, literature, and a live conversation with the author. Participants will have the opportunity to discuss the film and the book with Konstantin Lopushansky and the editor-in-chief of Aletheia, Igor Savkin. Lopushansky's films and books always address the limits of human capabilities and spiritual trials. His works explore the space between hope and despair, between reality and prophetic imagination. Thus, the combination of the screening of "Ugly Ducklings" and the presentation of "Last Times" becomes an occasion to discuss how art helps to understand the anxieties of the present.
