Starring: Saoirse Ronan, Domhnall Gleeson, Michael Zegen, Emory Cohen, Mary O’Driscoll, Julie Walters, Eileen O’Higgins. In English with Russian subtitles. Eilis Lacey (Saoirse Ronan) leaves her village in Ireland and sets off to America, in search of work. She settles down in Brooklyn, slowly loses all traces of nostalgia, and begins to enjoy her life in a foreign land. On top of all that, Eilis falls in love — but tragic news from the homeland force her to return to Ireland, where she meets another man, and is thus faced with a difficult choice. This romantic drama is adapted from Colm Tóibin’s novel of the same name. It received three Oscar nominations — for best film, best actress, and best adaptation.

Drama. Russia, UK 2014, 100 min. Directed by Richard Raymond. Starring: Freida Pinto, Nazanin Boniadi, Tom Cullen, Reece Ritchie, Marama Corlett, Akin Gazi, Simon Kassianides, Makram Khoury. In English with Russian subtitles. The true story of Afshin Ghaffarian, a self-taught Iranian dancer, who decided to study the art of movements in defiance of an official ban. The idols of his underground dance group were Gene Kelly, Rudolf Nureyev, and Michael Jackson — whose video clips were also illegal. As a result, Afshin’s own life ends up in danger. Akram Khan, the famous choreographer, served as director of the dance numbers in Richard Raymond’s debut film. He said, “This film is not only about dance, but about the reasons why dance is important to our life. I am inspired not just by this story of a battle for freedom from political oppression through dance, but by the thought that we all have the right for freedom, regardless of what country, nationality, or culture we belong to. Dance has no physical borders.”
