Description
Sisters (2001) — Set in the lawlessness of the 1990s, two young half-sisters have only themselves to rely on when they start being hunted by Russian mobsters. Directed by Sergei Bodrov Jr. — the star of Brother and Brother II. Soon after this debut, Bodrov was killed in an avalanche while shooting his second film.
English subtitles. 85 minutes.
Evgenia Kovda and Yasha Levine will host a Q&A and discussion after the film — to be moderated by surprise guest.

ABOUT THE EVENT
This screening is part of the NEFARIOUS RUSSIANS PRESENT: SOVIET COLLAPSE CINEMA series. Four weekends this summer in Brooklyn, Evgenia and Yasha will be screening different Russian films from the late 1980s and 1990s — all of them set in a decaying or collapsed Soviet society.
These are cult Russian films, and it’s almost certain they have never been screened in American theaters.
These movies are not only a historic document. They are relevant to America today. America has entered its own age of decline — the signs are hard not to see. And as people who have lived through the decline and collapse of the USSR, Evgenia and Yasha see a lot of parallels between what happened there and what is happening now in the US. You could say Russia’s past is from America’s future — and these films give a glimpse into that past…a past that might be the future here.
All films will be shown with English subtitles. There will be discussion and Q&As after each screening.
