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.

Czech painter and illustrator Alphonse Mucha (1860-1939) ranks among the pioneers of the Art Nouveau movement at the end of the 19th century. Virtually overnight, he becomes famous in Paris thanks to the posters that he designs to announce actress Sarah Bernhardt’s plays. But at the height of his fame, Mucha decides to leave Paris to realize his lifetime project.

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.

Dr James Fox has never really got conceptual art. And he's not alone. Conceptual art has been treated with suspicion and incredulity by virtually everyone outside the art world for nearly a hundred years. Ever since Marcel Duchamp first displayed a signed urinal and claimed it was art in 1917. So was he taking the piss? Or was he on to something, creating a whole new approach to art that has now lasted a century? 　　Dr Fox embarks on an open-minded guide for the perplexed and asks 'What is conceptual art?' 'How should we approach it?' and crucially, 'Why should we care?'. Roaming between the past, present and future he examines a mind-bending selection of the most influential conceptual ideas and artworks, alongside meeting the leading movers and shakers of today. And who knows? In the end, Dr Fox might find himself unexpectedly seduced by this trickiest of art forms.
