Посвящается 65-летию снятия блокады Ленинграда. В 1939 году одна девочка написала в пионерскую газету «Ленинские искры», как она собирала коллекцию насекомых и как привлекла к этому делу малышей. Один мальчик прочитал заметку и разыскал девочку. Любе исполнилось тогда 15 лет. Они подружились. А потом Лев ушел на фронт. Он ушел, чтобы отдать жизнь за родину. А на войне нужно было не умирать, а убивать. Этот рубеж дался ему нелегко. И она писала ему: «Не падай духом ни на секунду даже в эти тяжелые дни. пусть любовь моя крепит твою руку». Письма друг другу они писали каждый день. Может быть, благодаря им Любовь пережила блокаду, а Лев вернулся с фронта. И они зажили долго и счастливо. Фильм, построенный на их переписке, полной размышлений о жизни, смерти, верности, становится рассказом о любви на фоне трагических исторических событий. Фильм идет на русском языке.

Book and documentary presentation: David Burliuk in America by Nobert Yevdayev, Moscow, 2008 Film “Hostages of the Future” - script by Andrey Shemjakin and Nobert Yevdayev, directed by Roman Karmen (Senior)- Moscow, 2008. David Burliuk (1882-1967), widely considered as a father of Russian futurism, great provocateur, practical organizer and energetic force behind the most significant events and publications in the early Russian Avant-garde movement, had a long and daring life. The second edition of Nobert Yevdayev's book, David Burliuk in America, an exploration of life and art of David Burliuk, based on archive material such as photographs, drawings, paintings, documents, including recently declassified Japanese police reports, many of which had been never published before. David Burliuk in America has preceded by the other book, Ogasavara During the Stay of Burliuk, written by Nobert Yevdaev in cooperation with the Japanese author, Akira Suzuki, and published in Russian and Japanese in 2006. This was a first book built on available at the time archival material, that shed lights on David Burliuk's activities in Japan during his immigration in 1920-22. The documentary, “Hostages of the Future”, was produced at the Moscow studio of documentary films and dedicated to this pioneering artist. In both, the book and documentary, Nobert Yevdayev saw his task to give an account of Burliuk's life as the artist, poet, art critic, journalist, and publisher through the less known two years period in Japan and forty-five years in the United States.

InterArt Gallery Jyrki Pellinen (born 1940 in Helsinki) is in Finland best known for his highly acclaimed literary production, which includes over thirty works of poetry and poetic prose. He has received the National Literary Price in 1966, 1974 and 1984, and the esteemed Eino Leino Award in 1988. However, Pellinen is also a serendipitous visual mole finding his royal road, with his tentacles reverberating toward the lightwinds of color, giving form to formless, misty feelings, and nourishing unprecedented expressions. The viewers of his works have been taken by surprise ever since his first solo exhibition in 1972/ After that, he has had several exhibitions and stylistic transitions .. This New York exhibition is gathered from his first innovative period that breaks down the decorative and shifts the canvas into a de-decoy that first whispers seductively and then lets the thought-emotions be released from the traps of convention.

Dam, Stuhltrager Galley Camera opens on closed curtain. There's noise of preparation and anticipation. Black satin hands pull back the red velvet. Cue Music. Action: Rapid flashing pans to panting and smoking. "Mishka", the latest film by Yuliya Lanina, opens in onto a debaucherious stage where characters are intent on redefining themselves. Lanina's world of animatronic actors and actresses embody sexuality, indulgence, defiance, wit, confidence, introspection and humor that enrapture viewers to want to watch. The cast, a group of robotic children's toys employed and constructed by Lanina, are immediately identifiable with conventions and confrontations of struggling to balance one's place in the world with the place one sees him/herself. Characters draw parallels to the stories splashed across headlines, whispered among circles of friends, feuded over family dinner tables and debated on personal levels in the minds of us all. Created entirely by the artist - from characters to storyline, stages, music, editing and choreography - Lanina's videos are byproducts of growing up with likes of Paul McCarthy, Madonna and Brett Eason Ellis as much as Sid and Marty Krofft, Tim Burton or Roald Dahl. In her first work incorporating animatronic sculptures, the aptly titled "Play With Me", Lanina's dark dramedy takes a page from Ed Wood's ability to be brilliantly - and unconsciously - endearing. Omnipresent reminders let the audience know they are looking directly through an artist's uncensored, honest, consuming passionate vision. Watching combines the voyeurism of spying on a child playing in their room over a webcam with the glee of attending a show where the performance was so sincere everyone in the audience felt like a V.I.P. After formally adding Lanina to their gallery, Dam, Stuhltrager introduces her films, stage sets and animatonic sculpture in "Scene One".
