Short Movies Party	In May 2007, I organised a private movie projection of dozens of short movies. The list is too long to detail it. The programme contained some of the most extraordinary pieces of work ever put on film.
Russian Sci-Fi	In March 2007, I organised a private movie projection of 3 Russian Sci-Fi movies. Solyaris (1972), Stalker (1979) directed by Andrei Tarkovsky and Kin-Dza-Dza (1986) by Georgi Daneliya.
