The Pobeda Cinema, an honorary member of the Eurimages Association, is an innovative filling in the shell of an architectural monument. The building was born in 1926 with an eight-column portico that preserved not only the neoclassical appearance, but also its functional purpose. A diverse repertoire, equipped with the latest projection equipment, indispensable Dolby Digital Surround, 3D and 4K helped Pobeda resist the onslaught of ultramodern multiplexes. The “menu” of a seven-member veteran with a young soul includes a standard entertainment set with popcorn, star premieres, “author cuisine” for cinephiles: an art house, national cinema weeks, broadcast sensational opera productions, programs for art lovers, summer concerts.

"Victory. Doc ”is one of the many festivals of the cultural center. Documentary film is a mirror in which our life is reflected in pristine beauty and ineradicable ugliness. Merciless, sometimes crooked, merciful, revealing, inspiring hope. Interest in events representing him is steady. Especially if professionals are involved in their organization. The creative team of Victory, one of the oldest cinemas in Novosibirsk, is one of them.

The heroes of the tape are passengers on the reserved seat of a train following the endless route Moscow-Vladivostok. They celebrate New Year in an unusual surroundings, meet with classmates, go on a break, forgetting about the daily routine, confess to random fellow travelers. The initiative of the former Russian Railways boss, who planned to send such cars to the landfill of history in the near future, did not find support among the masses. Dear to the heart and pocket of the impoverished population, they will for a long time still maintain the status of the main affordable means of transportation over long distances.

These hostels on wheels are being modernized, equipped with outlets, dry closets, modern fire extinguishing and air conditioning systems. The main thing will remain unchanged. A collective form of being without the right to solitude, a nostalgic fragment of former life, a confessional, forced and effective form of socialization.
