A few days ago we had a meal nearby where we live on Krasnaya Presnaya. Afterwards we took a walk around an area nearby which is tucked behind the main road. It was like a revelation – lots of restaurants and cafes rebuilt into an old industrial light engineering quarter. We also found a good venue there for exhibitions and premièring films. Quite large and with good facilities. They were having a mental health film festival there and so we spent a little time walking around looking at the paintings on the wall. A gallery runs around one of the edges. I think it would be a great place to première some of my smaller films. Not pompous or grandiose, just the right ambience for some of the films I have made – maybe even for the Eisenstein film.
