Edna Hibel 3: Hibel's Russian Palette

<BODY> <h2>Edna Hibel 3: Hibel's Russian Palette</h2><br> <I>"Edna Hibel - always the working artist - has painted an exquisite portrait of Russia here."</I> -Ed. Media Review<BR> As an artist Edna Hibel is a living legend, and in this remarkable program we have the rare opportunity to view her in a unique setting - as the only woman ever allowed to film a documentary in the former Soviet Union. Here she weaves frank interviews with ordinary Russian and Ukrainian citizens in a variety of cultural settings against the backdrop of Russian visual, architectural, dance and musical arts to reveal the unraveling of the former Soviet empire. She balances her own sense of wonder about Russia with a variety of never-before-seen visually artistic scenes, including the last recorded interview of the Hermitage's late director, Boris Piotrovsky. Produced by Edna Hibel. 08DR/CL JSCA 60 min. <A HREF="index.htm" target=_top>Home</a><br> </BODY>
