XXVII Moscow International Film Festival: Day 3

As the Festival continues, I continue to “fix” the Festival’s program. It seems that the program for previous Festival days disappears as well. This is really stupid. I know that having only the current and upcoming days is easier for the users, but 30 films a day is a list that noone will be able to see. Perhaps people would like to rent the movies later. A simple link to all the movies would be so much better…

Rants and complains are over now and the list of today’s movies follows.

XXVII Moscow International Film Festival: Day 1

Today marks the start of XXVII Moscow International Film Festival. It is a major cultural event that will continue for 5 days and will provide general public with a chance to see a whole lot of excellent films.

Unfortunately I won’t be able to attend, but, never-the-less, I think it is a good opportunity for me to learn a lot about good movies. I will go through all the films that made it to the program, collect more information about them, and post it here.

It is impossible to watch all of the films during the festival as there a lot of them and they are shown on different screens all over Moscow. Thus, this guide might be helpful for future rental purposes.

As I already mentioned, the Festival will continue for five days. I will create a separate post covering films for each day. The complete program of the Festival with film information and screening time is available in Russian at http://www.afisha.ru/mmkf/.

Rock festival in Nicosia

Once again Andrey Shvachko informs all rock and rock-n-roll fans that there is an event coming soon.

Date: June 17, 2005 (Friday)
Time: 20:00 – 00:00
Place: Amphetheatre of Intercollege campus, Nicosia

There will be several bands performing. Andrey will participate in two of them.

No information about tickets and no map so far. But finding Intercollege is very easy. Here are the instructions: when entering Nicosia from Limassol-Nicosia motorway, go left to the roundabout, than go left again to enter the main road which goes around Nicosia. Drive straight. You’ll pass Orphanides supermarket on the left, Metro supermarket on the left, Jumbo supermarket on the right. Keep going straight until you reach the T-junction. There will be a huge church on your right. Turn right and drive straight until you see Intercollege buildings on your right (about 5 kilometers later).

There is a discussion at the RussianCyprus Forum, as usual. Stay tuned for more information.
