Shklovsky, Russian films, etc.

[Benjamin Sher]

Dear friends:

This letter is for Boris Briker.

Dear Boris:

I have tried sending you this letter by private mail, but it was
returned to me. I hope you get through the Seelangs list.

Benjamin

Thank you for very kind words. I will be returning to the Seelang list
by the end of the year. I am now using Linux instead of Windows. That
accounts, partly at least, for my absence. When I return I will resume
my updating of my Index.

As for films to recommend, the ones I recommended were at
www.broadcast.com. I don't think they have any Russian films anymore. No
doubt, as fast access (broadband) becomes more widely available here and
abroad, Russian movies and TV will also become more accessible. Right
now you can find Russian TV at:

1) http://www.tvc.ru


2) http://nashdom.penza.com.ru/index.html

Look for the Arkhiv novostei at the bottom of the page. Click on it and
you'll find a huge treasure-trove of RealVideo video clips.

3) http://www.tht.ru/portal2000/tht.htm

Once again, thanks for the kind words about my Shklovsky translationl.
However, while I am proud of my translation as a whole, it contains many
unfortunate errors. I have been preparing a complete revision of Theory
of Prose. It is in its last stage, but it may still take a year or two
to complete and publish it.

Thanks again for writing.

Benjamin
