A visually hypnotizing cinematic feat, RUSSIAN ARK is a spellbinding ode to St. Petersburg's State Hermitage Museum. Shot in one fluid take, the camera floats & careens through the lavish corridors of the museum, following the ghost-like narrator & The "Marquis" through different time periods and events, from the 1700s to the present, interacting with a period dressed cast of 867 actors.
