DESCRIPTION:\n	Dir. Denis Klebleev. 2017\, 56 mins. Digital projection. In 
 Russian with English subtitles. This program of films by two of Russia’s m
 ost exciting young documentary filmmakers pairs two portraits of bonafide 
 21st-century eccentrics. King Lear introduces us to Viktor Rotin\, an 81-y
 ear-old actor whose obsession with Shakespeare’s ill-fated monarch colors 
 his perceptions of his own life\, from his arrest for speculating in Sovie
 t times to his comfortable dotage in Putin’s capitalist playground. Direct
 or Klebleev follows Rotin as he rants about his career\, family\, and Shak
 espeare theories when not bellowing Lear monologues at anyone who will lis
 ten. Followed by Varya (Dir. Alena Polunina. 2014. 48 mins.)\, a singular 
 exploration of the crisis in Ukraine from the perspective of the eponymous
  protagonist\, a socks-and-sandals-clad math teacher who decamps from Mosc
 ow to Maidan out of sympathy for the Ukrainian cause. Varya encounters reb
 els\, idealists\, and extremists\, eventually finding a woman who models h
 er exploits after Joan of Arc and calls herself the “Soul of Ukraine\,” wi
 th whom she forms one of recent cinema’s most memorably strange friendship
