MR. NOBODY AGAINST PUTIN

February 26 – March 8, 2026
Mr. Nobody Against Putin
Nominated for Best Documentary Feature at the 98th Academy Awards. As Russia launches its full-scale invasion of Ukraine, primary schools across Russia’s hinterlands are transformed into recruitment stages for the war. Facing the ethical dilemma of working in a system defined by propaganda and violence, a brave teacher goes undercover to film what’s really happening in his own school.
Dir. David Borenstein / 2025 / Russian with English Subtitles / 90 min

“Talankin is the hero of Mr. Nobody, an effective look of one man’s resistance against President Vladimir V. Putin’s patriotic curriculum policy.” – Natalia Winkelman, New York Times

“Through the eyes of its delightfully brave, yet utterly relatable subject (also the de facto cinematographer), this terrifying, revelatory and poignant exposé offers an unseen human angle on an ongoing conflict.” – Carlos Aguilar, Variety

“One of its more quietly revelatory qualities is how it captures the way authoritarianism accelerates during wartime.” – Matt Zoller Seitz, RogerEbert.com
