Query about film

[Marina Levitina]

Dear Professor Kononenko,

In addition to Prof. Hill's insightful email about Parajanov's "Shadows of 
Forgotten Ancestors", other films using elements of folklore that come 
immediately to mind are the "fairy tale films" directed by Alexandr Rou, 
such as "Morozko"(1964), "Varvara-krasa dlinnaja kosa" (1969), "Ogon', voda 
i... mednye truby" (1968), "Marya Iskusnitsa" (1960), "Kaschej Bessmertnyj" 
(1944), "Konyok-gorbunok" (1941), "Vasilisa prekrasnaja" (1939), and "Po 
schuchjemu veleniju" (1938).

All the best,

Marina Levitina
