The Borzoi Kabinet Theater screens a series of poetic documentaries produced by the Museum of Jurassic Technology in collaboration with the St. Petersburg–based arts and science collective Kabinet. The series of films, entitled ''A Chain of Flowers'', draws its name from the quotation by [[Charles Willson Peale]]: "The Learner must be led always from familiar objects toward the unfamiliar, guided along, as it were, a chain of flowers into the mysteries of life". The titles of the films are ''Levsha: The Cross-eyed Lefty from Tula and the Steel Flea'' (2001), ''Obshee Delo: The Common Task'' (2005), ''Bol'shoe Sovietskaia Zatmenie: The Great Soviet Eclipse'' (2008), ''The Book of Wisdom and Lies'' (2011), and ''Language of the Birds'' (2012).
