The Kultura TV channel is starting the broadcast of the films by the Center of National Film studio: Vvedensky: There’s Apparently God Around and Kharms. Another Line from the Three Devious Hours video cycle (directed by Varvara Urizchenko).

"Kharms. Another Line from the Three Devious Hours" on September, 27th at 20.50

Three Devious Hours is the first documentary video series as of today, dedicated to the fates of absurdist poets who were members of the OBERIU union. The characters of the films, Alexander Vvedensky and Daniil Kharms, close friends, St.Petersburg intellectuals, uncommon personalities and masters of absurd, poets who turned out unwanted for the authorities.

Alexander Vvedensky called himself an “authority of senselessness”. His external chill and artificial cynicism hid his internal vulnerability and a naked, “skinless” feeling of reality. The world he created is a little bit frightening and mindbending, piercing and delicate. He’s terrified by the absurdity of life and death: The world got dark-stricken. The world is slaughtered, it’s a chicken. And then a wild guess: There’s apparently God around.
Daniil Kharms was a dandy and a wacky person at the same time. Vice and master of absurd coexisted in him. You should plunge into the Oberiuts’ poetry to understand that. It’s exactly this approach that’s selected in the film to disclose Kharms’ personality and life mode.

The Kultura channel has started broadcasting programs with hidden subtitles for people with hearing difficulty from September this year. To see the subtitles, you have to switch on the teletext and dial three digits 8 on the remote control (888).
