    • Synopsis
    • Marina Razbezhkina, film director:
      I love making photos. For me, it is the greatest of all the arts. My best pleasure is to look upon the photos.
      Maksim Dmitriev was a first Russian realist who documented the life around him; he started a path for documentary filmmakers to follow. I understood that I wish to tell about him but I am not interested in making a biography film, even if his biography deserves to become a film, whether a documentary or a live-action one. Maksim Dmitriev was born in 1858 and died in 1948 – and he never left Russia. Can you imagine how much did Russia change during this period? He always was a photographer, even after the Revolution, and left about 10,000 plates, dating mostly from the end of 19th – beginning of 20th century. I had an idea to tell about this era through his personality, especially because many pictures were made in 1913, exactly a hundred years ago. When I thought about the shape that the film was going to take, I understood that I should show these photos to our contemporaries. We made three-meter posters, choosing people from different social strata, still existing nowadays. In this way, seven stories were created, and we filmed them.
