The photo at 8:30 is heart-stopping. It's as if he suddenly stared at us.
Christine Albright is strikingly beautiful.
I hope that some of these performances are recorded and shown in YouTube.

Cool Looks like an interesting place. I am writing a blog Reading Chekhov where I am attempting to comment on all of Chekhov's stories.

It's technically not an official AIFF selection. It is not being screened in competition, but rather one time in a "free local" showcase.
