THE DRAMA OF EVERYDAY LIFE
Celebrating Chekhov
November 27 – December 3, 2009

The Film Society salutes indelible dramatist Anton Chekhov with this unique series of films. Some of Chekhov's most renowned works--including The Seagull, Uncle Vanya and The Lady with the Dog--hit the screen in dazzling cinematic interpretations by an acclaimed line-up of Russian directors.

Plus, don't miss the U.S. premiere of Ward No. 6, Russia's submission for this year's foreign language Oscar. Director Karen Shakhnazarov will appear in person to introduce his film (appearances indicated below by an asterisk).

CELEBRATING CHEKHOV is a presentation of Seagull Films in collaboration with National Gallery of Art and Mosfilm Studio. Additional support is provided by the Trust of Mutual Understanding.
