By Lenfilm’s 85th anniversary a group of authors prepared a cycle of video films about legendary directors of the past, who contributed not only to Lenfilm’s, but to the whole Russian cinema’s fame.
          Many of them became legends, so now it’s difficult to distinguish real persons behind this legends.
          Not a genius, innovator, labor hero, but a personality of an artist who grievously tried to form up his or her creative work and life, who reflected upon it, who made mistakes and discoveries.
          These nine films try to expose each legendary director’s secret of originality, their discoveries and mistakes, their aims and wishes in life and art.
