Weekend Updates

Don't steal yourself from beauty. Go and see PINA in 3D as soon as possible!



Meanwhile "The Russian Season" in London BFI has started. It's been a century now (from the 2008), when the film industry was launched in Russia.
Vertov, Eisenshtein, Dovzhenko and many more represented now in the cinema.
Thanx to all people who doing this. Don't pass by if you are somewhere around and come to see "Kino-eye", "Old and New", "Potemkin".
Than another season is coming named "Kosmos" with Tarkovskiy's "Solaris" and "Stalker" and we hope to see more screenings of the great russian/soviet filmakers in the near future..
Enjoy the posters of the golden era of Russian cinema by brothers Stenberg (my favourite designers of that period). They were studied together at The Stroganov Academy (where I studied as well but much later ;)) and worked together till one of them has gone. They used to sign their posters 2-СТЕНБЕРГ-2 / 2-STENBERG 2.

Great news for all Visotskiy lovers. Brand new movie coming up this summer.
It's a film about last years of his life with a list of splendid russian actors and great music by Vladimir. The script is written by his son Nikita.

Enjoy!

It seems like the new Era for Russian cinema has started.
Both russian movies I've seen on a festivals were good. Both had a big success.

Ovsyanki / Silent Souls
by Fedorchenko won FIPRESCI Prize, Best Cinematography, in Venice.

There is gossip that Quentin Tarantino applauded for 15 min standing after watchin this.

How I ended this Summer/ the right translatiion is - How I Spent This Summer/ Как я провел этим летом
by Aleksei Popogrebsky 've got the Golden Bear in Berlin this year.
I called this movie: The russian version of "Go to the WIld", my friend Ken Christiaens would love it.



Highly recommended...

I hope my perception has not been damaged and it's not just a stupid homesick.

Have a good week,
Irina
