'Empire' was the trailer for the Viennale 2010 and screened in over one hundred cinemas in Austria and during the festival in Vienna.

Short film Empire is based on a radio drama Sorry, Wrong Number by the American writer Lucille Fletcher. Actually, Sokurov draws on a single theme forming the background for the story of the thriller — the woman's illness… The heroine is bed–ridden and her only means of communication with the outside world is her telephone — until a killer interrupts the conversation… Sokurov removes all the dialogues, leaving us alone with the heroine — “a living skeleton” among the refined, with a touch of Modern–style, furnishings — who is listening to a radio broadcasting of Traviata, with its pleas for mercy and love. An elegant coffin–home is the spatial centre and symbolization of the entire film. And inside the coffin we certainly see the actress — the famous Russian ballerina Alla Osipenko who plays not only the heroine but also her own self. This metaphoric cinema–image bears an allusion to the great “handicapped” Sarah Bernhardt who was reported to sleep in a coffin, as well as to the entire complex of aesthetised Decadence, converting an apology of Death into a lifestyle. Here is the key to the code of the title. Empire is a style that attempted to reanimate the dead ancient harmony. The heroine of Sokurov's film communicates with her phone as the only partner, and sort of interferes with the beyond, attracting this air — intangible yet saturated with danger. It is from the radio air that she accumulates both pleasure and tranquillity — the aria of dying yet beloved Violetta, while the killer's silhouette materializes from the phone air. A chamber pot, overturned and spilt by the killer in haste, remains the only evidence of human activities in this boudoir of Death. Sokurov's metaphor, clad in naturalistic details, produces the effect of ironic disclosure: “a wet spot” is left after a symbol. The film was shot as a study work of a VGIK student S.Sidorov. At that time Sokurov did not have a chance to launch a project of his own, therefore he used this possibility to work. Visual conception of this film anticipates a considerable number of Sokurov's future experiments: light that models the space, levelling of colours, correlation of contrasting textures.

The film will be based entirely on archive footage shot by Italian filmmakers throughout the former Soviet Union between 1970 and 1973.

2003年12月，广州中山大学中文系公演了《阴道独白》。自此，这部来自美国、致力于消除性别暴力的女性主义戏剧，在中国大陆燃起了一股阴道之火。上海复旦大学知和社、上海海狸社、北京Bcome小组，不同的剧组用不同的方式演绎。她们在学校演、在小剧场演、在咖啡馆演、在街头演、在地铁里演。《阴道独白》也有了自己的中国名字：《阴DAO多云》、《阴道之道》、《将阴道独白到底》。这些名字都保留着那个令公众感到刺耳的词——阴道。“阴道，我说出来了”，这是一个说出来的过程，也是一个行动的过程；这是自我觉醒的过程，也是走向公众空间的过程；这是学习、认识的过程，也是本土化的过程。十年后，我们重走阴道，去问问当年的参与者，看看现在的行动者，听听来自阴道的声音。

Three undocumented teenagers - a Dominican girl, an African boy, and a Peruvian girl - are just about to graduate high school in the Bronx. Like most teenagers, all they want to do is hang with their friends, fall in love, and figure out where to go to college, but unlike their American classmates, these three live with the threat of being discovered by the authorities. When one of their teachers connects them with a lawyer to help them get their papers, the teens start to dig into their family histories to assist their immigration cases. As they continue to deal with the everyday problems of adolescence, the teenagers are forced to confront their past and, at the same time, fight for their future.
