Hair Curlers on a Bald Man (2026)

Step into the compelling documentary Hair Curlers on a Bald Man, a rich homage to the singular Soviet performer Georgy Frantsevich Millyar, born de Milieu. Widely recognized across the former USSR for embodying every mischievous sprite, monstrous troll, and supernatural being, Millyar secured his place in movie history through masterful turns as Baba Yaga and the immortal Koschei in Alexander Rou’s cherished folklore adaptations, alongside numerous supporting and background roles. Constructed from meticulously gathered materials pulled from premier institutions such as the Russian State Archive of Literature and Art, the Museum of Cinema, Mosfilm, Gorky Studios, Gosfilmofond, the National Archive of Film and Photographic Documents, and the Gelendzhik Regional Museum, the project functions as a living repository for the performer. It bridges personal milestones with the wider evolution of Soviet filmmaking, crafting a layered exploration of collective remembrance and how individual creators permanently reshape cultural heritage.
