The Dream of the Little Dancing Men

The Dream of the Little Dancing Men

Film is about communication. Kobrin pays homage to Vasili Nalimov, to his work and life. Nalimov was a mathematician and philosopher, but was also an eccentric anarchist with mystic tendencies who spent eighteen years in a concentration camp. Nalimov’s philosophy relies on probabilistic methods in the natural and social sciences and applies them to the study of language and consciousness.

Ironic movie imbued with humanistic over-excitement about the contacts with extraterrestrial civilizations. The film’s name Kobrin took from Hegel’s «Philosophy of Religion», but in his film work Kobrin granted the ability to speak to the «kitchen» philosopher – Semen Semenovitch.

Gloomy Time

Gloomy Time

The film is about the crisis in the Russian cinema, which occurred 100 years after the birth of cinema. The title of the film reflected Kobrin's feelings of this period, the collapse of the old order, pennilessness and uncertainty about the future. In some respects, the film almost documents the life of the Kobrins House, a whole studio compressed within a small flat, children, computers, people working on computers, kitchen, guests, Kobrin himself - all this is filmed in the time-lapse mode. The film is narrated by snippets from Vasily Nalimov's "Spontaneity of consciousness", intermixed with stories told by a rustic man.

Present Continuous

Present Continuous

The time has come to life and went backwards, and gained all its losses. All the dead have given their time, all the time of their love and their hatred. The cycle of present has opened. And in the ashes of the burnt lives a new fire flashed, and lit the way for those who went to the beginning of all beginnings. And I have witnessed it.
