Ah, si le Barbican m'était conte...
I could tell some amusing tales of when London's answer to the Centre Pompidou finally opened in the heart of the historic City of London. Largely funded by and for that quaint enclave of Roman and medieval London which a few decades ago was home only to bankers, financiers and insurance companies, and where no one could be found de cinq a sept and certainly never on Sundays, the Barbican rose with its labyrinthine walkways, and (then)futuristic m...

It would seem that Peter Weir's latest film, 'The Way Back' (2010) is making its own journey and 'Way Back' from
Weir's homeland in Australia to Dubai where it premiered in the Middle East last month and now to its North American
premier at the Palm Springs International Film Festival 2011. It's certainly making its way across the globe. While
it has received mixed reviews and an undecided audience opinion, it seems to be fighting its way beyond negative
popular opinion in its ubiq...

Director: Anna Polibina-Polansky.
The movie is entirely dedicated to the late period of the life of Joseph Brodsky and to his "venetian" days. Fantasies are totally fed by the real facts from the biography of the poet.
Director: Anna Polibina-Polansky.
Poetic renditions (by Anna Polibina) of two best-known Russian prayers and the original prose by the author of the film are illustrated by vivid, all-by-hand pictures (also by Anna Polibina) of old-Russian houses, steeples, temples and town panoramas. This film is an excursion into the dark centuries of the core of Russia. The movie was created in two poetic versions, Russian and English. It was the idea by the author, to render two prayers in the new, versified form.

An employee of some society works house-to-house. He’s going to people who have to die this d...
