merci @isskein d’avoir signalé cette initiative !
MoMA presents the first major North American retrospective of the Georgian-born filmmaker #Marlen_Khutsiev (b. 1925, Tbilisi), who revitalized Soviet cinema with his New Wave sensibility during the Khrushchev Thaw of the mid 1950s and early 1960s. Still energetically making films in Russia at 91, Khutsiev will be in New York to introduce screenings and take part in an onstage conversation on October 8.
Orphaned by war, and unmoored by the end of Stalin’s totalitarian rule, the generation that came of age in the late 1950s found themselves restless and alienated. During the Thaw, that fleeting moment of relative artistic freedom between the terrors of Stalinism and Brezhnevite stagnation, Khutsiev gave cinematic expression to their inchoate desires, anxieties, and social and political awakening in such landmark films as Springtime on Zarechnaia Street (1956), Ilych’s Gate (1962), and July Rain (1967).
