Animated Short Film “THOUGHT OF YOU” is a delightful graphic novel with images that look like they’ve stepped out of the pages of an artist’s album and came to life. A great way to show the experience and dreams of each character is simply through a pencil drawing that comes to life without distracting details. […]

Adult life is a strange thing. It often feels different than it actually turns out. As a child, you look at life with wide eyes. We stretch our arms to everything: to a flower and a butterfly, to a puppy and a kitten, to a cloud in the sky. We have fun and we laugh. […]

The review of an animation: Detroit’s suburbs have been emptied by a housing crisis, but one house makes a choice.

The invitation of friends to the drum show “The Sea of the Blue Forest” at the Teatrium was a complete surprise for me, but I immediately accepted it, because I really wanted to compare the Russian version of the performance with the performance I saw at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas back in 1993.

The folds on the surface of the paper are like secret letters that were formed simultaneously with the world.
