Alexander Svishchenkov is a devoted admirer of the cinema, and is passionate each time he makes a presentation about the films that impressed him.
March 14 was Alexander Svishchenkov's solo session about 2017 Oscar-winning films. See the detailed plan below and visit our Facebook group to find useful links or to discuss the films with us.
Unlike most of us, who were unable to watch all Oscar-winning films, Alexander did so, and he spoke about Moonlight, La La Land, Arrival, Manchester by the Sea, Lion, Toni Erdmann, Jackie Kennedy, Nocturnal Animals, The Salesman, It's Only the End of the World. Led by Alexander, we discovered what made these films win this year, will try to understand what exactly the best direction or best cinematography is, which directors and actors are a must-know in 2017.Alexander also showed us the way how to find the Oscar-winning films online and in the cinemas.
