Kino Perestroika (1990x17)

Fecha de emisión: May 18, 1990

Tonight's programme looks at the Soviet cinema since perestroika, and examines the work of some of its most important film directors who are working again after years of enforced silence. Through film clips and interviews, Arena discusses the work and problems of directors Rustam Khamdamov, Kira Muratova, and Sergei Paradzhanov, and one of the first westerners to work on a Russian production, French film star Jeanne Moreau. Will they be able to sell their concept to a population brought up on undemanding mass cinema?
