Dear visitors! Note that the AZ Museum will be closed from April 1 due to the exposition change.
AZ Museum presents a new cinema program for the exhibition "Zverev / Mikhnov-Voitenko. Second, Multiplied by Eternity"
The cinema program is dedicated to the Soviet fiction bio-pics about artists. The list includes masterpieces "Andrey Rublev", "Pirosmani" along with less known and unjustly forgotten pictures - "The Great Samoyed", "The Zodiac". Chronologically, all these movies were shot between 1959 and 1989 - mature years of two characters of the exhibition "Zverev / Mikhnov-Voitenko. Second, Multiplied by Eternity" - Anatoly Zverev and Evgeny Mikhnov-Voitenko.
It is not that simple to find similarities between the late-Soviet Nonconformists and the movies' characters - for example, Rublev or Surikov. Nevertheless, it might worth analyzing attitude of the officials to an artist during the life-period of Zverev and Mikhnov. No less important to notice some visual solutions found by the film directors to convey artistic styles of the main characters.
Each movie will be presented by Andrey Apostolov, film historian, Chief Editor of the Lenfilm Studio, program director of the filmfests "GorkyFest", "Window to Europe".
