Iner Salem, director:
- Russia - one of those countries that really attracted me. I travel a lot in his films. Unfortunately, I am in Russia not as often as I'd like. Russia - a country of great writers and artists. And to come here with the exhibition, to be either too naive or too arrogant (laughs). There are so many of their talents. Among my favorite artists - a Russian who was a Frenchman, - Marc Chagall. And I'll tell you now that no one had never said: it is possible, the effect of my next film will take place in Russia ... For me, this show means a lot more because in Paris, I allowed myself to exhibit their paintings only once, when he was a student. I have exhibited in Berlin, Stockholm, Italy. Then - stopped. Just because the painting has become for me something of a mistress, which are carefully guarded and hidden from everybody. And, thanks to Masha Gadusi, my "mistress" now you see and you, too. Incidentally, one of the paintings in the exhibition "Meeting", written in 2009, belongs Mylène Demongeot. When she saw it, it wanted at any price to have it, and - I gave her the job.
