Landscape with a Flood 2010, Russia Directed by: Sergei Kokovkin In this 2010 film, Joseph Brodsky is remembered by his friends and fellow writers. An eminent literary figure both in Russia and abroad, Brodsky’s poetry echoed with many generations on both sides of the ocean and continues to fascinate. This film was censored, has been refused air time in Russia multiple times since its completion, and continues to be shelved by Russian television. The director opted to refuse all changes imposed by television channels and show the film in its original version in the US. The 3rd Annual Russian Documentary Film Festival is proud to present the world premiere of this film. Sorry, no English subtitles! Monday, October 4, 7:00 pm Brooklyn Public Library, Central Library, Lower Level, Dweck Center October 4 - 18, 2010 Joseph Brodsky Memorial Fellowship Fund: Reviews: Bartok, d’Amico, Haydn, Dufay conducted by Jurowski London Philharmonic Orchestra News Vladimir Jurowski conducted the London Philharmonic Orchestra in a concert exploring the role of the city of Constantinople as a pivot point between east and west and including the world premiere of Matteo d’Amico’s ‘Flight from Byzantium’. This concert will be available to listen to online for 2 weeks from 4 October. Visit www.lpo.org.uk/listenagain for full details. Reviewed by Erica Jeal in the Guardian (3 stars): “The focus was on narrator Omar Ebrahim, who read from an essay by Joseph Brodsky, the four Hilliard singers counterbalancing its world-weariness with some of Brodsky’s spiritually themed poems, sung in Russian. Ebrahim sat out front, words dripping from his tongue in a way that made one wish we could listen to the article without the orchestra buzzing around it.” Michael Church in the Independent (2 stars): Facing us on stage was a formidable army: the London Philharmonic and its choir in full strength, the Hilliard vocal ensemble in the gallery, an oud-player and a dudukist on a dais, Omar Ebrahim ready to narrate into a microphone, a surtitle board in the heavens, and Vladimir Jurowski on the podium to whip things into line.

Недавно вышел в свет сборник материалов этой конференции. Время, приведенное Бродским в Норенской — один из самых плодотворных и малоизученных периодов его творческой жизни. Доклады посвящены анализу творчества поэта периода ссылки, истории деревни Норенская и Коношского района в 1960-е годы, опыту сохранения памяти о Бродском в музеях Архангельской области. Приложение содержит краткую хронологию жизни поэта в 1964–1965 гг. и полный перечень написанных им в ссылке стихотворений, включая и неопубликованные. Сборник предназначен не только для литературоведов, но и для учителей литературы, краеведов, для всех, кто любит поэзию Бродского. Издание осуществлено при финансовой поддержке Фонда Лихачева.
