Charity

In the beginning of April I was lucky to be invited to the party in a cozy gallery in the centre of Moscow. The party honoured the start of a charity marathon for veterans of Russian theatre and cimenatography. The walls were decorated with photographs of stars of Soviet theatre and movies of 50-80th of the 20th century. And the guests were the movie-stars, for whom Moscow was crazy half-century and more ago.

Charity marathon is held in Moscow theaters, funds are allocated for financial assistance to movie's veterans through the chatitable foundation "Artist".

The founder of the Charity Foundation  is Marya Mironova, Russian actress (I made this photo during opening ceremony).

Cinema: view behind

That miracle of cinema 'backstage', if it can be called so, always fascinated me. Yesterday I sat near enough to the last row to catch an opportunity of taking photo there.

As you might know, Earth Hour took place yesterday. Moscow city participated this year, and I meant to take part in turning off lights myself (which I actually did by going out last night :)).

And today Russia switched to summer-saving time which means we had 1 hour less to sleep :) But, as a reward, we'll get later sunsets and, consequently, later nightfall, which mean longer days. Not bad, I should say.
