These short films are for them and for you!

Director

Pavel Khvaleev

A young girl named Mila doesn't notice that she is under surveillance 24/7. As she comes home one day, she's being kidnapped. The unknown abductors keep her in an old garage, talk to her through a loudspeaker and set strict rules: she must not sleep but has to fulfill weird tasks that they've prepared for her. It all looks like someone's sick ideas and gloomy entertainment. Still, the girl doesn't suspect that she's part of a ruthless experiment.

Alien Nightmare X

Director

Dmitry Chmelyov

2021: The year when we have learned that we are not alone in this universe. That creatures from other worlds are ravaging for a long time, while other people don't even know.
It must be seen to believed: This Russian film is completely self-financed (100 euro, so no need for a second mortgage), and completely self-produced, yet the film seems to have much higher production levels. Full of creativity and ambition, edited like a blockbuster movie - Dmitry Chmelyov is the name to remember!
