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

Грузия / Georgia
What we know about Georgia? Not so much, actually.
Post soviet country, orthodox, extremely beutiful and extremely poor. Ancient culture. Amazingly tasty food and amazingly kind people. And of course very beautiful women.
But what we knew about fashion over there? Nothing.
yvan rodic went to Georgian fashion week and found some "fashion in streets" of the capital - Tbilisi.
Truly yours,
Irina

Russian Ballet in V&A
It’s been a week from the opening Diaghilev exhibition in V&A museum in London.
This exposition is devoted to one hundred (1909 -1925) anniversary since Russian ballet seasons in Paris were launched. This brilliant collection of images, costumes and decorations traveled from Moscow all around the world.
It was the most progressive ballet in the whole Europe at that time.
Sergey Diaghilev was a founder and the owner. He had talent of vision what is good and what is bad and was never afraid of being misunderstood.
It's hard to believe now that the first performance of Stravinsky's “Весна Cвященная” (“Spring”/"Le Sacre du printemps') failed in Paris.
You can see a small peace of this scene in a new movie about Chanel and Stravinskiy romance.
Music, costumes, choreography - all was shoсkingly innovative.
Some time later new rules of dance, music and arts were accepted.
And from that time golden era of Russian culture abroad has started.
Anna Pavlova, Nizhinskiy, Karsavina, Fokin danced for "Seasons".
Goncharova, Larionov, Bakst, Roerich created costumes.
Picasso and De Chirico made backgrounds and decorations.
Stravinskiy wrote the most avangard music.
Here are some sketches by the great Russian artists of those times and Picasso's background.
Enjoy
Truly yours,
Irina
