Onboard Diary

Day 7. MGIMO and Cervantes Institute

The lecture given at MGIMO about Spanish cinema was really successful. We explained our model and they were very impressed. Shortly they´ll be sending us a collaboration letter which we´ll use together with all others.

I could never imagine I would have the opportunity to talk about Val Del Omar in a place so far away from Granada and Castilla as Russia is.

NOTE:

Pdf File about lecture available here.

Zip File with the posters Julia designed available here.

We also had a meeting with Josep María de Sagarra and Tatiana Pigariova. They are Director and Cultural Manager, at the Moscow´s Cervantes Institute.

They have listened to our explanation about the project with a lot of interest and will soon communicate to us how can they help with our project and what can we organize all together.

Tatiana talked about a film she had heard about: Paper Soldat

The story is quite similar to ours. That film also talks about a cosmonaut and a complicated love triangle. Some weeks ago I tried to find subtitles for it but failed. I found the film on DVD in Moscow and bought it. It has no subtitles either so I will have to resign myself to just watch images.
