I see that they are running a retrospective on Soviet science fiction films.  I wish that the powers-that-be would try to acquire a couple of these for this thing of ours.
 
I bring you peace. It may be the peace of plenty and content or the peace of unburied death.

I'd rather one of the rep houses in the area picks up the entire series.  The MFA had a cool series on Soviet sci-fi a few years ago, though I missed much of it by doing Fantasia (shakes fist at evil scheduling).

The amazing thing is that there was relatively little overlap between that series and this one; Russia and the other Eastern European countries have a long, great tradition of "Fantastik Film", with some of the earlier works far more ambitious than anything coming out of Hollywood at the time.

Rubbish.  I want both. It would be super if the Coolidge decided to run the entire series but I would like seeing one or two of these at the thon.  BTW, the MFA run was a blast and yes this slate of films is very different from the MFA schedule.
