At the Origins of Mankind

How independent are we in our judgments? How do other people influence us? Being like everyone else is a natural desire of a child. He often succumbs to suggestion and passes out someone else's opinion for his own. But for an adult, this is a loss of personality, adaptability, conformism, which forms the psychology of a slave.

A scientific documentary about propaganda and crowd manipulation

A journalistic story inspired by Volodymyr Vernadsky about the genesis of life in the universe — from the physical elements of the primordial broth to the civilization of intelligent man.

Kingdom of animals is an unknown territory. We are like foreigners in here. We don’t understand the language of this country. They say, once lived a person who could talk to the animals, King Solomon. All peoples have fairytales with animals speaking with each other and with humans. In amazement, we’re looking at the world which considered long discovered. Animal language. It’s not human language, but special, sometimes completely unexpected ways of communication between animals…

Has the capacity of the human brain already been exhausted due to information overload? Sobolev posed this question at the end of the 1960s after a hidden camera recorded the results of a university entrance exam. The director, renowned for his belief in the endless possibilities of humanity, created a participatory documentary in which he filmed experiments with people with phenomenal abilities under the guidance of professors from the Academy of Sciences. Scientific analysis of the nature of hypnosis, telepathy, and dermo-optical perception reveals potential avenues to expanding the frontiers of human knowledge.

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.

If people don't come to their senses, our Earth could perish in a nuclear catastrophe, just as one of the planets in the solar system once did.

Bubble chambers are typically used to record interactions between high-energy particles and the nuclei of the chamber’s working fluid, or to observe particle decays. In the former case, the working fluid also serves as the detection medium. When an ionizing particle enters the chamber, its trajectory is marked by a trail of vapor bubbles, which can then be photographed. The ability to visually analyze these events made it possible to discover particles that could not be detected by any other means. Most notably, this includes the cascade decays of strange particles, whose decay products were either fully or partially captured in the chamber images.

The film is about the discovery in 1962 by V. A. Karnaukhov, G. M. Ter-Akopyan, V. G. Subbotin, and L. A. Petrov of proton radioactivity. The detection of a new type of radioactive decay of atomic nuclei – proton emission – significantly expanded our understanding of the properties of nuclei and the limits of their possible existence in nature. A fundamentally important fact is that the theoretical analysis of proton radioactivity confirmed the validity of the models widely used in traditional nuclear physics and the possibility of describing new previously unknown phenomena based on them.

Humans and animals are a living chain of nature. To understand on what basis the human mind arose, where are its roots, what was from the beginning? We often look for the key to understanding animals in the wrong place, among the motives of human actions, and we make mistakes.

The film is about the creation of a new element in the Periodic Table — Nobelium — by Soviet scientists, and about the global significance of this discovery.

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.

The film is dedicated to the 1500th anniversary of Kyiv.

The film raises the problem of moral development of a child. It explores how the social environment shapes children's moral feelings.

A film about the daily work of the forest firefighters of the Krasnoyarsk Aviation Base.
