<P0-S0> Yuri Mamin( born 8 May 1946) is a Soviet and Russian film director, stage director, screenwriter, composer, author and television host, Honored Art Worker of the Russian Federation. <P0-S1> His" Window to Paris"( 1993) remains one of the most popular movies in Russia. <P0-S2> The award was presented by Charlie Chaplin's widow, Oona Chaplin, at the festival marking 100 years since the birth of the great comedian. <P0-S3> Mamin's works are known for a strong emphasis on social justice and criticism of hypoctitical social norms. <P0-S4> Because of this, he found difficult to find support for his productions in the totalitarian USSR, as well as in today's Russia, where film makers became dependent on corporate oligarchy. <P0-S5> His characters often portray an inspired citizen in the fight for social justice against corporate capitalism. <P0-S6> Yuri Mamin began his directing career under the communist regime. <P0-S7> He was never a communist and was always opposed to the oppressive power of the Communist Party. <P0-S8> His works are popular among alternative socialist groups who criticize both capitalism and the Soviet system. <P0-S9> The Gorbachev period ended in 1991 and Yuri Mamin again became a persona non grata for the criminal tycoons who almost immediately took over all the leading positions in Russian cinema and mass media. <P0-S10> From the early 1990s, a group of official Russian film critics, controlled by the regime, began a period of notorious denigration of the film director and his art. <P0-S11> Against this background, Mamin's films won the love of audiences throughout the nation. <SEP> <P1-S0> En Thangai Kalyani (English: My sister Kalyani) is a Tamil film released in 1988, directed and produced by T. Rajendar. <P1-S1> Rajender himself appeared in the title role, with Sudha. <P1-S2> The film featured an extensive cast, which also featured Rajendar's real life children, along with a bevy of supporting actors. <P1-S3> The film was released on 5 February 1988 and was a blockbuster. <SEP> <P2-S0> Thesingu Rajendar( born 9 May 1955), better known as T. Rajendar, Vijaya T. Rajendar or T. R., is an Indian film actor, director, composer, screenwriter, songwriter, cinematographer, producer, playback singer and distributor who works primarily in Tamil film industry. <P2-S1> He is also a politician in Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India. <SEP> <P3-S0> Tigran Edmondovich Keosayan( born January 4, 1966, Moscow) is a Russian film director, actor and writer of Armenian origin. <P3-S1> He is a winner of International Film Festival Prize's including TEFI, Kinotavr and Window to Europe 2001. <SEP> <P4-S0> Mr. Right is a 2009 British film directed by David Morris and Jacqui Morris. <P4-S1> The jointly- made gay- themed film is the debut for both directors. <SEP> <P5-S0> Window to Paris is a 1993 Russian drama film directed by Yuri Mamin. <P5-S1> Some French friends suggested that Yuri Mamin should make a joint Russian- French film, which led to the creation of the 1993 film" Window to Paris" or" Salade Russe". <P5-S2> Do n't you want to make it better?" <P5-S3> As a division of Lenfilm, the film company Troitsky Most refused to participate in financing the project, thus putting the French partners on the edge of financial collapse and threatening the production of the film. <P5-S4> The name of the fund," Fountain", is from Mamin's preceding film that won the grand prize at a French film festival, which had been organized under the patronage of Madame Danielle Mitterrand, the wife of the French then- president François Mitterrand. <P5-S5> It was this in particular that facilitated financing for the film" Window to Paris" from the French fund CNC. <P5-S6> The comedy" Window to Paris" attained such success in France and at the Berlin Film Festival that Michael Barker, the co-president of the American distribution company Sony Pictures Classics, arranged for the film to be released in the United States, and twice requested Goskino to submit the film" Window to Paris" for the 1994 Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film. <P5-S7> Barker wrote:" The response to the film at screenings in Los Angeles and New York has been terrific with both the critics and the audiences. <P5-S8> It seems to communicate the message of bringing two cultures together in a warm and enlightening manner ... should' Salade Russe' be the Official Russian Entry to the Academy for the Best Foreign Film Academy Award, we feel confident the picture will not only be nominated for the Award, but has a very good chance to ultimately win the Award itself." <P5-S9> After the chairman of the Russian Oscar Committee, Elem Klimov, did not agree to submit Mikhalkov ’s film to the competition, Mikhalkov demonstrated his outstanding skills in behind- the- scenes intrigues. <P5-S10> The members of the Russian Oscar Committee remain under the control of Nikita Mikhalkov, who shapes the politics of Russian cinematography. <P5-S11> Nikita Mikhalkov is currently Vladimir Putin's cinematography adviser. <P5-S12> The idea of a mystical window, a dimensional portal between Russia and Paris, came to the mind of the Moscow screenwriter Felix Mironer long before Gorbachev's Perestroika. <P5-S13> He told this idea to the filmmaker Aleksey German, who sold it 20 years later to Arkady Tigai, Yuri Mamin' co-author, for a bottle of cognac.
