A series of documentary films "Provincial museums of Russia" was created Alla Surikova. Since 1999 it has been successfully made by young cinematographers
in partnership with Open Society Institute (Soros foundation) - Arts and culture program, Cinematography Service of the Ministry of culture
of Russian Federation, Russian Federation Ministry of press, broadcasting and mass-media, regional museums and municipal institutes.
Films were shown on TV channels "Culture", "REN-TV" and "Prometheus-AST".
The series shows not only the "reverse" side of museum life but also whether the museums are the center of life of the whole community.
The interests common to all mankind are touched. Internal life of museum is projected on the society and vise versa, many interesting peculiarities
of provincial life are shown.
One of the films traits is a high culture of visual images and sound, complexity and diversity of composition, which are closer to
movie then to modern TV-films in reporting style as has been numerously confirmed by critics.
