“What brings the French Cinematheque, the Swedish Film Institute, the Moscow Museum of Cinema, provincial and thematic cinematics closer together? All this is MUSEUMS, specifically, cinema museums, which in the 90s were considered the last refuge of the tenth muse, its history, its material culture. However, today the world is experiencing a real boom in archival cinema, as the process of updating history takes place. And we look into the past, where there are no more taboo names and works to understand: the museum, as such, is not a mummified past, but the actual memory of culture. This memory is being formed right before our eyes, ”said Naum Kleiman, the first director of the Moscow Museum of Cinema, in his speech.

But the sudden death of my father changed my attitude to the material, made me take a different look at the frames from films with their participation. And of all the words spoken in the film, I wanted to say only one thing - do not leave. "
