Biography
At the end of 2020, the audience, who became acquainted with the debut full picture of the director Mikhail Lokshina, saw in the film about Russia echoes of Hollywood stamps. And in Americanism of techniques, and in the Russian patriotism of cinematographer, there is nothing surprising: Mikhail Arnoldovich's biography is similar to the fate of Vladimir Posner.Childhood and youth
In the autumn of 1986, 47-year-old American biochemist and oncologist Arnold Lokshin, together with his wife Lauren and three children asked asylum in the Soviet Union, referring to the persecution of dissent in the United States. The scientist had Jewish roots, grandfather and grandmother Arnold left the royal Russia, fearing the pogroms.
The USSR Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko met with American Communists and provided the family of a local 4-room apartment with two balconies and two bathrooms in a luxury house near the Moscow Metro Station "New Cheryomushki". Arnold and Lauren got the work of experimental diagnosis and tumor therapy. Siblings of American dissidents began to be brought up as Soviet children. Better than parents and senior Siblingi - sister Jennifer Rachel and Brother Jeffrey - the younger member of the family adapted to Russian culture, Michael, who at the time of the move was 5 years, in the future Russified name and now known as director Mikhail Lokshin.

Films
Mikhail Lokshina's film was a shortwater District "Nail". In which Larisa Baranova and Evgeny Sologalov starred. The company was a young actor to Viktor Bunakov, who participated in such significant projects as the TV series "Petersburg secrets" and "liquidation", as well as in the full-length film Valery Todorovsky "Thief".The next stage in the career of Lokhana-director was shooting clips - both musical, in particular Dirty for Mujuice (Roman Litvinova) and advertising. The most famous clip of Mikhail Arnoldovich - "Motherland", the advertising of the beer "Siberian Crown" with the participation of David spiritual.
In an interview with the "poster-air", Lokshin said that the star of "secret materials" did not know a word in Russian, but as a high-end professional was able to correctly intonate speech. In memory of the shooting, the director left the photo on which he keeps the Watmansk leaf in his hands with the poem of Vladimir Orlov, famous for the film Alexey Balabanova "Brother-2". Rows "I found out that I have a huge relative, and a path and fishing foresters ..." Latin's written.
The clip "Motherland" is posted on the official website of Mikhail Arnoldovich. There you can also see the trailer of a little-known short picture Locker "Afternoon pleasure", shot in 2019 and lasting, like a debut "nail", 13 minutes.
The film "Silver Skates", the action of which unfolds at the turn of the XIX and XX centuries, for a long time went to the audience: without waiting for the premiere, the artist of Dmitry Mendeleev Sergey Koltakov died. The picture was the debut for the artist in the costumes of Galya Galodovnika. Luxury characters and vintage aesthetics, types of winter St. Petersburg and archetypical central heroes performed by young actors Fyodor Fedotov and Sofia Prasssa made a film of a fairy tale of love for adults.
However, "silver skates" touched upon a number of issues continuing to remain modern and in Russia the XXI century: from the abyss between the rich and poor to corruption in the police, from the use of couriers, spreading food, to feminism. In the image of the central heroine of Alice, the creators combined the elements of the biographies of real Russians who studied chemistry - Yulia Lermontov, Anna Volkova and Faith Popova.
