Some materials of the film project became available at the \u00abDAU\u00bb<\/a> in spring. Ilya Khrzhanovsky<\/a> planned to show unreleased films at international movie festivals in 2020-2021.

The \u00abDAU\u00bb is a parallel spatial and temporal universe, allowing to return to the Soviet Union and explore the complex relationship of Soviet man with the totalitarian regime of the USSR. Ilya Khrzhanovsky He has been creating the project for 14 years. \u00abDAU\u00bb includes 14 films, 3 series and 700 hours of filmed timekeeping, which do not obey either chronological or single plot logic and cover about 40 years of life: from the late 1920s to 1968.<\/p>\n

The film project literally recreated life in the USSR. The shooting involved non-professional actors who played without a script and lived on the film set throughout the work. The main location of \u00abDAU\u00bb is the Institute of Physical Problems. It was home to religious figures, artists and scientists. Including, even our famous contemporaries. For example, Nobel Prize winner physicist David Gross<\/a>. Employees were paid in Soviet rubles. Party and trade union meetings were also held at the Institute, and the First Department was functioning.<\/p>\n

None of the items from the XXI century, up to underwear, was allowed on the territory of the Institute. Ilya Khrzhanovsky in an interview with Kseniya Sobchak said<\/a> that women during periods used gauze, and there were fines for those who used words and concepts not related to the time of the act.<\/p>\n

At some point, the film set turned into a psychedelic journey<\/a>. With the help of special invitation, visitors could join the project, communicate with its residents, real artists, scientists, filmmakers, and feel the atmosphere of Soviet times. Among the episodic characters were Demyan Kudryavtsev, former director-general of \u00abKommersant\u00bb and \u00abVedomosti\u00bb; film director Alexander Shein, director of Prada store. Thus, the mansion on Piccadilly that embodied the Soviet institution and which is located in one of the most prestigious areas of London, gathered a heterogeneous mass of people – from Marina Abramovich to Roman Abramovich.<\/p>\n

Despite this widespread public interest, the project caused conflicting emotions. Thus, some critics refused to write reviews<\/a>, motivating their decision by unwillingness to participate in the PR of a film that demonstrates rape, humiliation and sadism.<\/p>\n

In Kharkov in the spring of 2020, a criminal case was opened<\/a> against Khrzhanovsky. The Ukrainian Prosecutor’s Office accused the filmmakers of torturing children during filming and of propagating violence and cruelty.<\/p>\n

In Russia, the project was treated with caution. Only six films were given rental IDs. The rest of the films were considered propaganda for pornography<\/a> by the Ministry of Culture.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
