Yet 3-D hasn’t been the biggest sea change in recent memory, no, the biggest change in the industry has been a long time coming and became very obvious recently, Digital. Movies shot digitally and a good majority of theaters switching over to Digital projectors, we are seeing the onset of the truest...

Say Leo

user
Director: Rybakov Leonid.
This could happen to anyone. If you are 18. If your friends have all settled. Some have started business; some have gone to college; some are in the army. And only you still don't know what you want to be. Like childhood: a fireman or a pilot. And there is no one to ask. You don't speak with your parents and your little sister is too young to understand. There is only one window to the world left to you. The computer screen. Inside there, everything is different: the life of the net. Although it can bring no true human aspects it cannot destroy the desire for friendship, love and emotion.
