The series "Kamenskaya. Reload": the legendary detective returns to screens with a new look

"Kamenskaya. Reload" is a new take on the iconic story, performed by young actors. Beloved characters from Alexandra Marinina's novels and the acclaimed series—Kamenskaya (Yulia Khlynina), Gordeyev "Kolobok" (Vitaly Kovalenko), Korotkov (Dmitry Kulichkov), Lesnikov (Pavel Popov), and Chistyakov (Pavel Artemyev)—solve the most sophisticated crimes in the realities of our time and new circumstances. Directed by Kirill Pletnev.

Police Major Anastasia Kamenskaya is an analyst for the Moscow criminal investigation department and one of the best detectives at 38 Petrovka Street. She takes on seemingly unsolvable cases and can unravel the most complex circumstances. For her, each investigation is not only an intellectual challenge but also an immersion into complex human emotions and relationships. Solving complex and mysterious murders, Kamenskaya will inevitably uncover the truth, no matter the risk. The project is being developed by Marmot-Film. The series will be available to watch on the PREMIER online cinema. The television premiere is scheduled for air on the Rossiya TV channel.
Valery Todorovsky,general producer:
The series "Kamenskaya" is the first major series project I've produced. I have a special feeling about it: it was both my first attempt and, I believe, a successful one. They say you can't step into the same river twice, but I'll try. It's important to preserve the core—the combination of a good, high-quality detective story with vibrant, lively, charismatic characters. This was the hallmark of "Kamenskaya" 25 years ago, and I hope we'll be able to convey and preserve it in the new version.

Screening of the film "For You and Me" in the Noôdome community

The Noôdome community recently hosted a screening of Andrei Smirnov's film "For You and Me," directed by the director whose works "Belorussky Station" and "Once Upon a Time There Lived a Woman" have long since become part of cultural memory. Andrei Smirnov himself admits that each viewing of the film with the audience is a new experience and a lesson for him, no matter how many times he's seen it before. "For You and Me" is set in Moscow in the early 1950s, a period when a person's personal life is closely intertwined with the history of the country and the trials of the era.

The post-screening discussion continued this dialogue, this time with the audience. Noôdome co-founder Veronika Zonabend called the film a sincere story about love and the need to always remain human. Legendary Moscow Art Theatre School teacher Anna Petrova noted the rare precision with which the film conveys the atmosphere of the time: a combination of difficult circumstances and, at the same time, inner light, vitality, and faith. The discussion featured Andrey Smirnov, Elena Smirnova, Yulia Snigir, and Ksenia Rappoport, and was moderated by journalist and film critic Arina Borodina.
The director himself spoke of the film with characteristic modesty, calling it "an ordinary story about the life my country lived." However, it is precisely this simplicity that constitutes the film's special strength. Shot in a language unfamiliar to modern audiences, the film became a meditation on dignity, choice, and responsibility. At the end of the discussion, Andrey Smirnov formulated his attitude to art with utmost clarity: cinema has no utilitarian purpose—it exists to give pleasure, to make one think and feel, without imposing any conclusions.

Elizaveta Boyarskaya spoke about her role in the new film "My Friend, the Cat, and Pushkin" at the premiere at the National Center "Russia."

"My Friend, the Cat, and Pushkin" tells the story of Moscow schoolgirl Milana, who writes poetry but is afraid to speak in public. The girl's unexpected companion on her journey of discovery and overcoming obstacles is a black cat, inhabited by the soul of the young Pushkin. The film combines classic and contemporary elements: the plot includes references to "Eugene Onegin" and rap battles relatable to today's schoolchildren. This film is about family, friendship, creativity, and self-confidence.

Actress Elizaveta Boyarskaya said that participating in the film was an important creative experience for her and gave her the opportunity to explore the theme of parent-child relationships. Elizaveta is confident that audiences will see a heartfelt story about family, trust, and continuity, as well as the importance of listening to one another.
Actress Elizaveta Boyarskaya:
“My character is a strict mother, a woman who keeps everything under control and sincerely wants her daughter to succeed. But in this pursuit, she loses sight of her child’s true feelings and forgets her own. At the story’s climax, this ‘fortress’ collapses, and the character remembers her childhood. Her connection with her daughter is restored through Pushkin’s poetry—that very cultural code that unites generations. I resonate with this idea: even adults with many responsibilities, it’s important not to forget their inner child, because it’s in these moments that we become closer to our children,” the actress noted. They will also discover young actors—brave, talented, and vibrant. Even in the short time I spent with them on set, I was captivated by them. This is a kind, family-friendly film, and it will spark conversation between parents and children after watching it."

On February 13th, the mystical melodrama "Tango on the Shards" will premiere on KION and START

In just a month, we'll see a series told through the language of dance, starring Yulia Snigir, Denis Shvedov, Rinal Mukhametov, and Anastasia Talyzina.

Nora's life seems perfect, but her world collapses with the death of her husband, Vanya. Details of his secret life emerge—a second apartment, a young mistress, and, most unexpectedly, tango lessons... The melodrama was produced by Valery Todorovsky's Marmot-Film studio and the KION online cinema.
Yulia Snigir, actress:
«didn't immediately realize that tango is more than just a dance, and at first I approached it purely technically. Only during the training process did I realize it wasn't just about learning combinations. Tango is about character, about relationships between people, about a sense of self. It's a dance that's not just in the feet, but above all in the eyes. I discovered this gradually, along with my character, because we had so much in common from the start. I'm sure many will recognize themselves or someone they know in Nora. In our time of strong women, this is a very relatable story»
