About

A feature film about the first communes in Altai transforms the chronicle of the post-revolutionary years into a human story of hopes, doubts, and the cost of change. This screening is for those interested in utopian projects, vibrant characters, rare Soviet cinema on the big screen, and a conversation about what the new country could have been. At the center of the story are the workers of Nevskaya Zastava, who in 1918 set out for Altai to build the first agricultural commune and literally create their small world from scratch. The film by E. Shiffer and A. Ivanov shows not an abstract historical process, but living people whose dreams, fears, and fatigue gradually emerge behind the slogans of a new life. The film is structured as a series of chapters, each of which captures another stage of the grand experiment. The heroes' journey involves hard physical labor, confrontation with harsh nature, resource shortages, and internal conflicts within the collective. It gradually becomes clear that the trials come not only from outside: disagreements, jealousy, and different notions of justice and freedom test the very idea of the commune. The screening at the Museum of Cinema provides a rare opportunity to see an important work of Soviet cinema on the big screen and to revisit a familiar historical period without the simplifications of school. This session will particularly interest viewers who are drawn to the theme of early Soviet experiments, the history of Siberia, and collective forms of life, as well as those who appreciate thoughtful, honest cinematic reflections on the past and how it continues to resonate in the present day.
