Edna Hibel 3: Hibel's Russian Palette

"Highly Recommended. Edna Hibel - always the working artist - has painted an exquisite portrait of Russia here." -National Media Review
One of America's most versatile and accomplished artists, Edna Hibel's work has been exhibited in over 20 countries around the world. As an artist, she truly is a living legend. In this classic documentary we have the rare opportunity to view Edna Hibel in a unique setting as she weaves frank interviews with ordinary Russian and Ukrainian citizens in a variety of cultural settings against the back-drop of Russian visual, architectural, dance and musical arts to reveal the unraveling of the former Soviet empire. The only foreign woman ever allowed to produce a documentary in the former U.S.S.R., Edna Hibel 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, to whose memory this program is dedicated. Produced by Edna Hibel. 2010DR/CL JSCA 60 min.
