On April 30 next year, Lenfilm, Russia’s oldest movie studio, will celebrate its 90th anniversary. However, the director of "Lights in the Stage", an upcoming film about the St. Petersburg studio, doesn’t want his deeply personal film to get confused with a variety of celebration projects that are due in 2008. Alexander Pozdnyakov, who worked at Lenfilm for quarter of a century, calls his project “a poetic reminiscence.” (Leo Murzenko, Saint-Petersburg Times #1260 (126), Friday, April 6, 2007)
