DESCRIPTION:Filmmaker Marlen Khutsiev will introduce and discuss his maste
 rpiece 'I AM TWENTY' (Mne 20 let\, 1964\, 165 minutes). Screened in Russia
 n with English subtitles. Originally prepared for release in 1963 under th
 e title 'Lenin's Gate'(Zastava Il'icha)\, the film was re-edited and re-na
 med after Khruschev criticized it publicly. Its portrait of three young wo
 rkers at loose ends in 1960s Moscow is now considered a key work of the So
 viet 'New Wave.' Andrei Tarkovsky and Andrei Konchalovsky play small walk-
 on roles.  The screening is free and open to the public.\n\nMarlen Martyno
 vich Khutsiev was born in Tbilisi in 1925\, began his filmmaking career in
  Odessa and has lived in the same Moscow apartment for the last 26 years. 
 His early work was shaped by Soviet filmmakers’ discovery of Italian neo
 realism in the 1950s\; his great 1960s films have more in common with the 
 work of Antonioni and Godard. Frequently subject to politically motivated 
 attacks by Soviet authorities\, his films are few in number\, but each an 
 aesthetic and historical landmark. He recently retired from his post as He
 ad of the Directing Faculty at the Russian State Institute of Cinematograp
 hy. At age 88 he is still active as a filmmaker and president of the Russi
 an Federation’s Guild of Film Directors. He is also a lively raconteur w
 ith many stories to tell about his own films\, as well as his work with fi
 lmmakers Ihor Savchenko\, Sergei Parajanov\, Andrei Tarkovskii and others.
