Silk Road Mountain Race is one of the most difficult multi-day cycling races, the route of which runs through the mountains of Kyrgyzstan: about two thousand kilometers at temperatures from +40 to -15 and with a total climb of 30 thousand meters. The extreme Silk Road attracts cyclists from all over the world, but not everyone manages to overcome it on full self-sufficiency. In 2023, two guys from Moscow, Maxim Lapchuk and Sasha Antipov, decided to test themselves and go on this journey. One of them had been preparing for it for three years, the other decided in a week, without going into details. In Peter Barabaki's film, they tell how it was, and invite the viewer to speculate with them on the question of how people come to realize a big dream — how much recklessness, heroism and risk there is in this, and in the end is it worth it.
Cursed is based on Frank Miller’s graphic novel, and is a retelling of the Arthurian legend with a twist.

"WHAT ARE YOU WILLING TO SACRIFICE?!!!!" "EVERYTHING!!!!!" This is but one of a multitude of highly emphatic questions, and subsequent answers, being asked in the newest feature film from one of the current masters of horror, Jordan Peele ("Get Out", "Us" and "Nope"). I must give Peele credit in that he continues to push the boundaries of specific genres and their associated tropes in order to provide what ends up amounting to subtly then jarringly intense, yet still character and story-driven, cinema that speaks more to indie stylings than mainstream.
In The Women and the Murderer, directors Mona Achache and Patricia Tourancheau center women—the very demographic true crime is designed to appeal to.
