Siberiade
Сибириада
1979 · Film · 275 min
Directed by Andrei Konchalovsky
The story about a very small god-forgotten village in Siberia reflects the history of Russia from the beginning of the century till the early 1980s. Three generations try to find the land of happiness and to give it to the people. One builds the road through taiga to the star over horizon, the second 'build communism' and the third searches for oil.

Well if we’re having a contest for posting long movies, Siberiade is an excellent film that will take 4h35m of your time.
Conceptually similar, there was also the ANS synthesizer [1] designed by the Soviet engineer Evgeny Murzin. Unlike the Mellotron, it was opto-electronic, giving the composer more direct access and control over the "samples". Waveforms were drawn on glass plates, and pressing one of the keys would scan across the associated plate, feeding the generated signal through various filters, etc.
It features prominently in the soundtrack by Eduard Artemyev, for the historical film Siberiade from 1979. [2]
