When Barriers Disappear · 1980When Barriers Disappear
1980
MovieDocumentary
The problem of barriers has come close to all aspects of human life. We guide people towards talent, towards their maximum potential, and indeed, a person can do anything—there is no limit here, we haven’t found a limit. But they don’t know how... rather, they think they don’t know how. In reality, it’s nothing like that—it’s a typical adaptation process, like when we step into bright light and can’t see anything. What do we do? On one hand, we create an information environment that is as saturated as possible with information, and on the other hand, we teach people to feel at home in this environment, like a fish in water.

1964
MovieDocumentary
The Pulsed Fast Reactor (PFR) is designed to study the interaction of neutrons with atomic nuclei. Using a neutron beam, one can investigate nuclear reactions, nuclear excitation, and structure, i.e., the properties of various substances, addressing not only purely scientific but also some applied tasks. The main advantage of this type of reactor is the ability to incorporate materials such as uranium-238 and thorium-232 into the fuel cycle. This significantly expands the fuel base of nuclear energy. Additionally, these reactors allow for the relatively safe disposal of the most active and long-lived isotopes in spent nuclear fuel, fundamentally reducing the period of its biological hazard.

Dare, You Are Talented! · 1978Dare, You Are Talented!
1978
MovieDocumentary
A film about an innovative method of learning a foreign language in just 24 sessions in Galina Kitaygorodskaya‘s method: "The method of activating the capabilities of the individual and the team", allows to activate mental processes (memory, perception, thinking, imagination) and emotional resources of the individual, which releases enormous creative energy, allowing students to easily and effectively process huge amounts of new information in a short time. It is a system of language teaching as a means of intercultural communication. The film shows the dynamics of two groups that started learning French and Russian from scratch. G. O. Kitaygorodskaya proved to be a fan of her work. She was not bothered by the camera, but she was not going to make up for it or pose for it: "No takes. I came to teach people the language." Here, every lesson is like a live script.
