DECEMBER
11, 2006 --
Here,
as promised, are more photos of the Sixth Russian Film Week in New
York City.
Shown are Russian actress Evgenia Simonova speaking with director
Alexender Veledinsky ("Alive") at the reception held in banquet hall
of the Russian UN MIssion, October 17; director Kakha Kikabidze ("The
Seventh Day") with
Vladimir Vdovichenkov one of the stars of this film; Russian writer Georgy
Vainer; Natasha Alam, in Georgy Gavrilov's "Spy Games: The Black Wolf
Hunt", and Alexei Panim, co-producer of the movie, with Mr. Gavrilov.
Several of the movies had a World War II background, including Artyom Antonov's
Polumgla, about doomed German soldiers, working as prisoners of war in the
village of Polumgla. LPR found this movie to be of particular interest -- showing
the treatment of German POWs, and their common humanity.
Indeed, even removed from World War II by half a century, for LPR, the subject
matter of "Polumgla" seems rather daring, and especially so for a
Russian filmmaker.
