The film in a metaphorical form demonstrates a model of self-devouring in a closed spiritual system, it explores intermediate state between a human and a non-human: a subhuman deprived of a divine spark.

The pantomime of two characters exchanging roles is accompanied by a three-layered phonogram, where sophisticated narrative text is interrupted by slightly accelerated excerpt from Brezhnev’s speeches, as well as by fragments of statements of the mentally ill person with the schizophasia symptom.
Self-Organization of Biological Systems
Absolutely of Nothing
Vladimir Kobrin
Ironic movie imbued with humanistic over-excitement about the contacts with extraterrestrial civilizations. The film’s name Kobrin took from Hegel’s «Philosophy of Religion», but in his film work Kobrin granted the ability to speak to the «kitchen» philosopher – Semen Semenovitch.
Absolutely of Nothing
Present Continuous
Vladimir Kobrin
The time has come to life and went backwards, and gained all its losses. All the dead have given their time, all the time of their love and their hatred. The cycle of present has opened. And in the ashes of the burnt lives a new fire flashed, and lit the way for those who went to the beginning of all beginnings. And I have witnessed it.

At the center of the film is a man in a monkey mask inhabiting various anthropogenic spaces, such as a zoo, city streets and a farmyard. But the attributes inherent in human life (work, marriage, military service, leisure) do not release him from an animal form.

Son Plyashuschih Chelovechkov
Vladimir Kobrin
Film is about communication. Kobrin pays homage to Vasili Nalimov, to his work and life. Nalimov was a mathematician and philosopher, but was also an eccentric anarchist with mystic tendencies who spent eighteen years in a concentration camp. Nalimov’s philosophy relies on probabilistic methods in the natural and social sciences and applies them to the study of language and consciousness.
