Our new, 2008/09 Russian Literary season will commence with a very special guest, celebrated animation film director Andrey Yurievich Khrzhanovsky.

Khrzhanovsky will screen excerpts of his films about poets Alexander Pushkin and Joseph Brodsky.
Pushkin left 2,000 sketches in pen and ink on his manuscript sheets, which the director has incorporated in A Pushkin Trilogy.
Khrzhanovsky will also discuss his works based on drawings and writings of Joseph Brodsky.

The program is free; please pick up a free ticket at the Eastern Parkway entrance to the Library
