Today I finally saw the movie “The Artist”.
Silent black and white French movie about the time when we made another step from the love to the people on the screen, to the love to the special effects on screen. I’m not going to talk long how exciting it was to watch this amazing picture. Let me simply say: yes, I watched a great hero, and even more incredible heroine – not covered by 3D, DTS, CGI, FX and other modern movie-stunts – but naked and bold, with such love and admiration, which I had not for a while. Do not go to this movie for the movie itself, go there for yourself! Fill yourself up with a forgotten sense of purity and sincerity!
27.01.2012 Now, after reading a hundred books, when it finally became clear, who is God (not the one who lives in the sky with a white beard, and talks about sin more, than about love, but the real one, the one who is you and me), I came to understanding of the fundamental law of dramatic art. Understanding of the reasons why a person interested in these particular events, but not those. Why these characters and beloved, but not others. In addition to writers, this knowledge would be useful for actors, I think. The whole system of causes and effects of this world is clear to me now – no unsolved mysteries remain. And this is an amazing feeling when you can twist the laws of the universe, as it pleases.
Thank you, my friends, for giving me your energy all my time! Thank you, Earth, and its magical inhabitants! I promise you interesting stories!

Cirque du Soleil. I am dreamer myself, I understand how people fly with no wings, how they bend with no limits, how they make auditory laugh standing at the stage and no moving. But how did they manage to breathe into two and a half hours so much billions of pure love – that what remained a magic inexplicable to me… Circus of Sun.

Happy New Year!
25.11.2011 I’m moving!
My roomie-friend went to his mother-country. It’s already few days I’m living alone and there was no worse time for me. 24h radio with best music on the planet, 18h of work per day, candles placed everywhere around the empty apartment – nothing makes feel that there’s an alive soul in this bottomless carton box I’m living in… But now I’m moving!
07.11.2011 The presentation booklet for feature movie I participate in is ready. Take a look!
Plus, first reply from the festivals: “Maple Syrup” – official selection Short Film Center Competition, Goa, India. Congrats!

From the moment I stayed here my whole life is turning several times a day, so I got confused: where is the ground, where is the sky. The main measure of our life is a “commercial success”. Career news frequently accepted with greater enthusiasm than the heart ones. But forget about career for a second – here everything was clear long ago: a little film, a greater film, a great film – it’s easy: learn, look around for the beauty, do not waste your time on nonsense. But there were more heart news for the past three weeks than my heart is able to withstand: different cities and people, street musicians, singing better than almost everyone I heard from the radio, a roller coasters with such force that you’re unable to yell (no exaggeration, on the edge of perception!) I admire you, my friends, who spend these days with me! You are truly amazing people!
16.10.2011 My friends, I’ve been attached as a director to a feature comedy “First Date” with an under-million budget. It’s a long process of pre-production in front, some preparation already begun. Thanks to the producers who believe in me. Let’s make it artistic and nice! Cheers!

Steve Jobs. You made me happier with your sense of perfection and rebellious nature. I did not notice when I become covered by your ideas and learn your courage. I’m painfully sorry to see you go. See you then!
1955 – 2011. Steve Jobs.
27.09.2011 This is – a fiction that can not be explained – that magic which happens to me during recent days, weeks. And when it seems that there’s nothing can surprise you anymore, comes This. Last night I watched a movie. Not in theater, at home. I just can not believe that it really does exist! What is most surprising – it is almost unknown to anyone, barely rolled in theaters and went quiet – exactly five years ago. But I was amazed so much how only can be impressed a filmmaker rarely really involved into movies. Huge incredible job in every detail, every new frame is more impossible than a previous! But there is a catch in my words – this time I will not tell you what that movie is. Unexplained mystery! That’s really true, the deeper you discover the world, the less it is clear…
24.09.2011 Today I found myself in the cinema, going through The Lion King. For the thousandth time, but it’s different …
A huge IMAX screen, Dolby Digital, 3D, delicious cookies and other modern facilities.
I remember as a kid, I was watched this movie with my friend Nikolay one frame per heartbeat. And each time always crying in the worst Mufasa’s times, and laughed at the jokes of Timon and Pumbaa, whispering them under nose to myself. And then, in those distant days of my magical childhood, I firmly promised myself that I’ll be back with Simba in the pride, I’ll grow up strong and brave, and will get to the Kingdom as mighty lion. I promised myself that will retain the purity and honor, and promised that will keep a lionet within. And now, after so many years, when a long way passed from the tortured, stooping, weak boy from the outskirts of the great, but desiccated country, to black-maned lion, I bow before the most inscrutable: a feeling of this immense life that led me to the path when all forces left me. It was only a lump in my throat is that all around me there was no one who’s shoulder I could put my head and feel all the same through buddy’s skin.
I came to the Pride, gave everything up, I have achieved my dreams … Nothing can not stop me now… “Can you feel the love tonight”?
17.09.2011 It’s a strange feeling when you are preparing the entire year for an event, it flies by, and you feel the whole year inside yourself. Pain, laugh, loneliness and amazing places. This year has passed, films screening took place, and you are numb. Of course, it was great, and the audience accepted, and so many kind words. And all I want now – drop myself in any of the world’s oceans and lie on the bottom.
16.09.2011 So what? Today is premiere screening of “Maple Syrup” at Universal’s. Thrilling! My film closes the program, which is good. All in preparations, bringing gear in order. I’ll let you know how it was tonight! Weew! Excited!
09.09.2011 Lokomotiv Yaroslavl. The entire team… I don’t have words. It’s absolutely belivableless! Galimov, my dear friend, hold out! And return to the ice, please, in the memory of each one!
08.09.2011 My friends! I would love to invite you to the final screening of my new film “Maple Syrup”. Sep 16th, 5:30pm, Universal studios, theater 3. Everyone, who would like to attend, please, send me your and your accompany’s names. That should be very nice eve!
