Drawing on the collections of major Russian institutions, contributions from contemporary artists and performers and personal testimony from the descendants of those involved, this film brings the artists of the Russian avant-garde to life. It tells the stories of artists like Chagall, Kandinsky and Malevich - pioneers who flourished in response to the utopian challenge of building a new art for a new world, only to be broken by implacable authority after 15 short years. With access to The State Tretyakov Gallery, The State Russian Museum and The State Hermitage Museum, the film features paintings previously banned and unseen for decades, as well as masterpieces which rarely leave Russia.

Helmer of one of Argentina’s most remarkable filmographies, Fernando “Pino” Solanas ends his career with a documentary in which he explores the mysteries of creation alongside two other great artists who are in the final stages of their lives: actor and playwright Eduardo “Tato” Pavlovsky and visual artist Luis Felipe Noé. Talking about issues such as exile, political commitment, crises and desire, they share experiences and reflect on the origin of their ideas and the material exercise of creativity. As a closure that overflows with vitality and also looks at death right in the eye, Tres a la deriva del acto creativo is not just the end of a brilliant career, but also a true testament that reaffirms constant restlessness and curiosity as inalienable qualities for all those who want to devote their life to art.
