Russian documentary film festival in NYC

[Marina Adamovitch]

Dear colleagues,

I would like to inform you that the Second Russian documentary film festival
will take place on September 18-20 at Tribeca Cinemas in NYC. Her are some
of the highlights.  
Film “Marilyn Monroe, Anthony Quinn and others: Michael Chekhov's Star
System” is dedicated to the great actor and Russian Émigré of the first
wave, Michael Chekhov, who created his own acting technique. The film will
be introduced by Chekhov's student, actress Joanna Merlin. 
"Vassily Aksenov. It's a Pity You Were Not with Us" is dedicated to the
memory of the recently passed Russian writer Vassily Aksenov. 
"Nabokov. The Happy Years" is about the life and works of Vladimir Nabokov
in America. 
"The Word" is dedicated to the memory of A.I. Solzhenitsyn. The film will be
introduced by the writer's son, Ignat Solzhenitsyn, and the famous Russian
director Sergei Miroshnichenko.
"No Job for a Woman" is about female army pilots in World War II; 
"Kiselev's List" is about a Russian partisan during WWII, who rescued the
inhabitants of a Jewish village. 

The Festival is organized by The New Review/Novyi Zhurnal, the oldest
Russian-language quarterly in the US. For details see:

I think this is a unique opportunity to learn something new about Russian
history, culture and immigration not only for the SEELANGS subscribers but
for all tri-state area undergraduate and graduate students of Slavic studies.
