The employees of Prometheus were known as brilliant engineers capable of solving problems of a cosmic scale in the truest sense of the word — they, among other things, developed light-and-life devices for the interior design of spacecraft. The ideologist of the team Bulat Galeev was in correspondence with the classics of experimental art: Nicolas Schaeffer, Frank Malina, Yanis Xenakis, Lev Theremin, and although in Soviet times the bureau could not fully participate in the international art process, today many European institutions work with its archives. Didar Orazov's film, which includes digitized archival materials and new interviews with eyewitnesses of the heyday of Prometheus, is an attempt to touch an original phenomenon that the entire Soviet (and not only) intellectual world watched with awe in the second half of the XX century, to tell about what was behind the inspired experiments, about sincere love towards the future and endless curiosity.

The Process is a tricky business. It reveals how psychodrama, long recognized as a valuable tool in therapy, can help people deal with addictions and the effects of dysfunctional family life. The tricky part is that the slick way in which it has been assembled and compressed to fit a 70-minute running time makes the treatment seem easier than surely it must be. We are told upfront that the film, unscripted and unrehearsed, will gather nine people, led by psychodrama expert Dr. Tian Dayton, who will be trying to put their lives together over a series of group therapy sessions.
