PERMIAN. The best films and the basic principles of the Flahertiana Documentary Film Festival.

At the end of September, Flahertiana 2015 ended. The documentary film festival remains one of the few events on the cultural map of Perm, which stood at the breakdown of eras. Despite the minimal funding and the absence of the sensational “must see” in the program, he is increasing the audience by offering her a clear position and unshakable gaze. For 20 years, he did not change the basic principle of Robert Flaherty, one of the founding fathers of world documentary. It’s better to shoot something that seems interesting to yourself, but people who are as close to them will always be there. The paintings selected for Flahertiana are related by the delicately used technique of observing one hero without preparation, coercion to spiritual striptease, and voyeurism. Living with a real character for a certain period of his life, the viewer gets a chance to better understand himself.

Stories about the ability not to become hardened and keep hope in a hopeless situation are more relevant than ever. Watching a deaf girl Denis from a gypsy community persecuted from the city outskirts brought Agnieszka Zwiefka from Poland the Grand Prix and caused involuntary associations with the refugee problem corroding Europe.

The main prize “Small Golden Nanook”, awarded in the national program to Denis Klebeev’s film “Strange Particles” allows you to see reflections on the meaning of life, finding oneself, the opportunity to reach out to those who are not ready for this in a story about a quantum physics teacher. The film, far from politics and short-lived philistine, is recognized as one of the most worthy documentaries of the year.
