Director
The Russian filmmaker, Pavel Klusjantsev, has had an extraordinary influence on an entire genre of films. Throughout his career at the film studio in St. Petersburg, Klushantsev pioneered and invented legendary techniques for filming the planets, stars and weightnessless - long before anyone else. He went on to redefine the science fiction genre and influence the way Hollywood made their science fiction films, including the Academy Award-winning Visual Effects Master, Robert Skotak, a man who spent years trying to track Klushantsev down
Producer
The dramatic story of three great Russian avant-garde painters from the beginning of the last century – Kazimir Malevich, Pavel Filonov and Vladimir Tatlin – and their supporter, Nikolai Punin, the first post-revolution Commissar of the Hermitage and Russian Museums. They dedicated their lives to belief in the revolution and its connection to avant-garde art, but the communist regime betrayed them. The history depicted on the painted canvases reflects the tumultuous period of the 1920s and 30s in the Soviet Union, in Leningrad and in artistic circles of the time. Only with perestroika have the avant-garde paintings, stored in museum archives, again seen the light of day.

Nos situamos en la costa danesa a mediados del siglo XIX, en una comunidad dominada por la moral y los prejuicios. La religión se sitúa en el centro de todo a través de todas las restricciones que se puedan imaginar. Para escapar de la represión sórdida del municipio rural, Babette (Stéphane Audran, 'El carnicero'), desembarca una tarde de tormenta en la salvaje costa de Jutland. Se convierte en la mujer de servicio de las dos hijas de un pastor muy puritano y se integra fácilmente en la austera comunidad. Pero después de catorce años en el exilio, recibirá fondos inesperados que le permitirán volver a su patria. Antes de su regreso, para agredecer a todos su hospitalidad, propondrá preparar con ese dinero una gran cena francesa para celebrar el centésimo aniversario del nacimiento del difunto pastor.
