"Stanislavsky and Russian Theatre" Approaching Completion.
So where are we with the film "Stanislavsky and the Russian Avant-garde"? Quite far on. We had hoped to get the film released for the end of February but that as it turned out was slightly optimistic. In principle it's possible but there are several things I want to add into the edit and that will take a little extra time but hopefully not too much time. Most of the work now involves mixing the sound track which consists of music , narration and interviews with Anatoly Smeliansky, the deputy director of the Moscow Art Theatre and Jean Benedetti, writerabout and translator of Stanislavsky's work.When you get this stage of a film its worth adding those extra ingredients to give the film that final bit of colour and finish which it deserves. For instance, I discovered some new archive footage which was made available to me late on in the editing process. Excellent archive footage which will dovetail neatly into the film. All these touches make the film better. All in all a release date is imminent and will be announced as soon as the film is ready.
