Snezhana Chernova and Hugo Calera at QIFF
Proof Of Birth directed by José Luis Orbegozo is a short film (screened at the Queens International Film Festival QIFF)about the struggle for a Mexican man (here illegally) to find a way to send money (legally) back to his wife; it's also about how he learns to use the system and how his self-confidence develops. The film is well made, and features fine acting by Hugo Calero in the main role, and Snezhana Chernova in a bravura supporting role.
There's a very interesting event coming up for anyone interested in modern Russian/American theater. The HB Ensemble is presenting THE MASTER AND MARGARITA, a play based on the novel by Mikhail Bulgakov, adapted and directed by Aleksey Burago, with many fine actors, including the brilliant Russian/American actress Snezhana Chernova.

On a hot spring day in the 1930s, the Devil comes to Moscow. His havoc-making visit intersects with the love story of a writer (Master) and a married woman (Margarita). The Master is struggling under censorship to make his voice heard. An accidental meeting on a street begins a tale of devotion, sacrifice and love as the pair of lovers gain spiritual strength even when threatened with great danger.
