Russian movies

[Emily Tall]

The SUNY at Buffalo library has recently purchased 9 films from Facets
Video in Chicago (they have an 800 number). Some of them are: Siberiade
(1979) 3 hours, Adam's Rib, Luna Park, Taxi-"Blues, and Solovki Power.
The last is a fascinating documentary from 1988 about the camp in the
White Sea and in Russian is a play on "sovetskaia vlast." We also
purchased, from Frontline, the PBS documentary people, "Natasha and
the Wolf" (one hour) about a prosecutor who falls in love with the man
she is investigating and aids him in an escape attempt. We are showing
these on a large screen, for free, and they will then be available
to students to check out. Emily Tall
