Films list

In this section, I present a curated selection of short films produced under the banner of ELF — Excalibur Logic Films.

Several of these works feature poetic narrations in English, Russian, and French — drawn from original works that explore the emotional depth and timeless themes of the human experience. These readings are accompanied by evocative musical compositions, carefully crafted not for traditional performance, but as soundscapes for quiet contemplation. Each line is delivered with gentle intensity, allowing rhythm and melody to amplify the lyrical essence and emotional nuance of the poetry.

This fusion of music and word invites the viewer into a meditative cinematic experience — one that encourages deep reflection and personal resonance. As language and music intertwine, an emotional landscape unfolds, offering space to revisit one’s own memories, aspirations, and truths. This distinctive form of musical poetry becomes a powerful call to connect with the full spectrum of human emotion and to honour the voice within.

A growing collection of such films — along with interviews and literary narrations — is available on the M.C. Talks channel, accessible via YouTube and Spotify. These recordings feature a range of voices, from the author herself to distinguished actors, all united in a shared vision: to foster meaningful, cross-cultural dialogue through the arts, and to illuminate the human experience through story, sound, and reflection.

In a world rich with unsung heroes and pivotal figures, the film series developed by ELF — in close professional collaboration — seeks to shed light on the many faces of leadership across history and society. Leadership is not confined to the spotlight; it may emerge in moments of quiet resolve, in the clarity of decisive action, or in the tireless effort to solve practical problems under pressure.

This collection comprises four distinct series, each exploring a different facet of leadership:

• Historical Dramas: Through the Dust of Archives Journey into the past to rediscover voices of leadership preserved in forgotten manuscripts and faded records. 4 episodes, 26 minutes each.

• How to Build This? A compelling look at construction leaders who confront unforeseen challenges with determination and innovation. 5 episodes, 26 minutes each.

• The Invisible Power of a Nation’s Strength An homage to the quiet contributors — intellect, labour, and spirit — who underpin the foundations of society. 4 episodes, 26 minutes each.

• Bridge of Times A contemplative exploration of leadership as a timeless quality that transcends generations and geography. Single episode, 26 minutes.

Each of these films has been made available online and broadcast on television, ensuring broad accessibility. Together, they form a tapestry of narratives that honour not only the accomplishments of leaders, but also the enduring spirit that inspires them. From the corridors of history to the girders of modern construction, from whispered influence to commanding presence, these stories remind us that leadership is not merely a role — it is a legacy.

We invite you to join us on this cinematic journey — to celebrate the strength found in silence, the courage revealed in vision, and the lasting imprint of those who lead, both in the shadows and in the light.
