All of the films have been previously unreleased on American screens, making this a unique opportunity to experience the new trends in Russian documentary film-making. Many of the films include previously unseen archival footage filmed prior to the 1917 Revolution; others include exclusive interviews with Holocaust survivors; still others show a glimpse of rural Russia very rarely seen in the US. One of the films that will be shown is the last cinematic appearance of Nobel Laureate, the late Joseph Brodsky. This collection of films is a priceless resource for anyone interested in Russian culture, literature and history.
