The second part of Peter Greenaway's „The Tulse Luper Suitcase” will be shown in Moscow as part of the Moscow International Film Festival. Greenaway shot the film as a joint English-Russian project, with top Russian actors — Nikolai Dobrynin, Yevgeny Stychkin, Amalia Mordvinova, Polina and Ksenia Kutepova, Valery Barinov, Yevgenia Dobrovolskaya, Irina Apeksimova, Vladimir Steklov and Oksana Mysina among them — doing the voiceovers for the British performers. The film shows on Sunday, June 25, at 7 p.m. at Dom Kino.

Oksana Mysina is one of four Russian actors taking part in the “Sweden:Upgrade” project of contemporary Swedish drama. Also working with her under the guidance of Swedish director Mathias Lafolie are Igor Fokin (Lenkom), Natalya Rychkova (film actress) and Alexander Borisov (Playwright and Director Center). They will conduct readings of excerpts from six Swedish plays at the Meyerhold Center on Saturday, June 17 at 2 p.m. in the 5th floor foyer. Also in attendance will be Eric Uddenberg, whose play “Father Slaughter” is one of the works being presented.

Oleg Treshchyov will receive a “Teatral” award for his book „Not Idols, but People,” published in 2006 by Chelyabinsk State University. The book is to be honored as an example of a “high quality contemporary book about theater.” In the book, Treshchyov wrote over 50 pithy and witty essays about actors and actresses he has known, met and observed over the last 25 years. Some of his heroes include Faina Ranevskaya, Yury Yakovlev, Yulia Borisova, Sergei Yursky, Maris Liepa, Angelina Stepanova, Yulia Rutberg and Oksana Mysina.
