ILF AND PETROV DOCUMENTARY


13.01.2022

Roma Liberov is an author and film director, producer of cultural projects and initiatives, and a curator of exhibitions. We participated in the screening of his film "ILFANDPETROV" in the Jerusalem Cinemateque.

Ilya Ilf and Yevgeny Petrov were two Soviet authors from the 1920s and ‘30s who grew up in Odessa and did much of their writing together. They are almost always referred to as "Ilf and Petrov." 
Their books became classics of world literature, including "The Twelve Chairs," "A Little Golden Calf," "One-Story America," and more. 
We were honored to watch the film together with Roma, who calls the genre of his works "mixed media," using documentary and staged shooting, animation, puppet and shadow theater, installations, computer graphics, and artistic scenes behind the frame.
