The international project of 8 short films was dedicated to the 130th anniversary of the birth of the popular American artist Edward Hopper (1882-1967), a prominent representative of American genre painting, one of the largest urbanists of the XX century. Anger, resentment, or alienation between a man and a woman are Hopper’s constant themes. Hopper envisions loneliness without sympathy or support—absolute, sinister, endless loneliness. In Hopper’s paintings, even sunsets are lonely, and streets, and houses, and people, and even couples, especially couples.
Part documentary, part concert film, part fever dream, this film captures the troubled spirit of America in 1975 and the joyous music that Dylan performed during the fall of that year.

A Soviet cult cartoon, so untypical for a Western viewer, especially, a little one. A boy named Malysh ("A Little One") suffers from solitude being the youngest of the three children in a Swedish family. The acute sense of solitude makes him desperately want a dog, but before he gets one, he "invents" a friend - the very Karlson who lives upon the roof. So typical for the Russian culture spirit of mischief, which is, actually, never punished, and the notion that relative welfare not necessarily means happiness made the book by Astrid Lindgren and its TV adaptations tremendously popular in the Soviet Union and nowadays Russia and vice versa - somewhat alienated to the Western reader and viewer (see User's comments below). However, both the book and the cartoon are truly universal - entertaining and funny for the children and thought-provoking and somewhat sad for grownups. close
