“I have a relationship to Kira Muratova. So, this is her first film, which is named… -And The Long Farewell. -Brief Encounters. In Russian, it’s Korotkie vstrechi, “short meetings,” if translated direct. And she made this film in ’60s, and ’60s was, in the Soviet Union, a little bit a time of freedom. And after that, she continued… Another film, she made another film, Dolgie provody. It is here, so this is two films. And after that, she lost her job. And till 1988, she was a… member of studio in Odesa, but what she did, she cleaned the floor in the film studio and, after, she made… she made great film, Asthenic Syndrome, also, hook! Serious stroke, punch to all Soviet society. She lived in Ukraine, but it was a very strong voice, very strong voice, and she’s a very strong character. Great, great. Thank you very much.”
