Larisa

Larisa, directed by Elem Klimov and produced by Mosfilm, is scheduled for release on August 15, 2026, and will stream on the Criterion Channel. The film is a documentary tribute to Larisa Shepitko, a prominent Soviet filmmaker and Klimov's wife, who died in a car accident the year before the film was made. The documentary draws on excerpts from all of Shepitko's films alongside archival audio recordings in which she speaks about her life and approach to filmmaking. It stands as both a personal memorial and a cinematic record of her work.
