Please join us for a panel discussion on the history and highlights of Russian Fantastik. We’ll be approaching the topic from a variety of angles, including the rich vein of fantasy in Russian literature, the effects of historical changes and shifts on films and filmmaking, the influence of science itself on sci-fi filmmaking, and in particular, the process by which assorted Russian science fiction classics mutated into American pictures. We’re very pleased to have the co-curator of the series Robert Skotak on hand. A historian of visual effects (Skotak is the author of a biography of the great Ib Melchior) as well as an Academy Award®-winning visual effects artist in his own right (Skotak has done visual effects supervision on many films, including X-Men 2, Titanic, Aliens and Batman Returns), Skotak will be showing a section of his work-in-progress on the history of Soviet science fiction cinema, Red Fantasies. Also included on the panel will be Karen Shakhnazarov, director of Zero City and Director General of Mosfilm Studio; Nikolai Borodachev, Director General of the Russian State Film Archive Gosfilmofond; and Mikhail Kosirev, the director/producer of the new version (2001) of To the Stars by Hard Ways.
