This doc follows the life and career of legendary Colombian painter and sculptor, Fernando Botero. Hailed as one of the world's most prolific and popular artists, the 86-year-old Botero illustrates vision and mastery of the arts in this must-see film from documentary filmmaker Don Millar. A prolific force of artistry, Botero has been creating art throughout his life, earning him the name "The Maestro." With so little known of his private life, Millar's profile of the artist is a welcome behind-the-scenes peek inside Botero's world and body of work. The film takes us through Botero's process and around the world itself, visiting Colombia, China, Italy, the United States and other countries to trace the production and influence of Botero's work throughout his unrivalled career. close

With his grizzled moustache and chiselled features, Charles Bronson is the embodiment of a slightly archaic, brooding and almost reactionary virility. But who is he really? Often hired to play marginalised Native American or Mexican characters before he was typecast as the image of a lone killer, Bronson was a major figure in the popular cinema of the 1960s and 70s and his stony-faced, physical acting and career are worthy of a second look. close

Written and directed by playwright Terry Johnson, the film tells the story of the working and personal relationship between the comedians Peter Cook and Dudley Moore, a hugely popular duo in the UK during the 1960s and 1970s. Focusing primarily on Cook, the film traces the pair from their first meeting through their career as part of the Beyond the Fringe review, their television series Not Only... But Also (from which the film takes its title) and various other projects before their later estrangement as Moore became a successful Hollywood film star and Cook remained in the UK. Although some events are fictionalised and condensed, and the film was criticised in some quarters for an unsympathetic portrayal of many of Cook's faults, it was generally well-received critically. close

Ulanova Galina Sergeevna (1909-1998).People's Artist of the USSR (1974-1980), laureate of State Prizes (1941, 1946, 1947, 1950), Lenin Prize (1957). In 1928 she graduated from the Leningrad Choreographic School. For more than ten years, Ulanova danced on the stage of the Kirov Opera and Ballet Theater, and after (1944-1960) she was a ballerina of the Bolshoi Theater. Life in ballet began with Chopeniana (balletmaster Fokin), where at the final exam in school she danced "Mazurka" and "Seventh Waltz". On December 29, 1960, Ulanova took the stage for the last time and also danced in Chopinian. 262 performances on the stage of the Bolshoi Theatre constitute a whole era of national ballet. Combining the traditions of romantic ballet with realism and poetic truth, combined with perfected dance technique, is a characteristic feature of the ballerina’s work. The most famous work is the part of Juliet in the ballet by S. Prokofiev “Romeo and Juliet”. The image of Juliet created by Ulanova is unmatched even on the dramatic stage. Extraordinary musicality, artistry, deep psychologicalism are distinguished by the images created by her in the ballets "Bakhchisarai Fountain", "Cinderella", "Giselle", "Swan Lake", "Bronze Rider", "Red poppy", "The Tale of the Stone Color". The peculiarities of Ulanova’s personality consisted in her striking simplicity and naturalness, along with her demands on partners and students. close
