So I know this isn't about kino. I've recently come to Moscow, where I will be for the next couple months. I've just gotten over the jetlag, but while I was still jetlagged, I was able to grab some footage of places I visited. I didn't know how big the Orthodox Church was in Russia until I came here. I had seen Andrei Rublev (which I want to do a video on soon) but my knowledge of Russian Orthodoxy was limited to just that singular Tarkovsky film. I didn't understand the fascination with icons or the golden cathedrals, but being inside the Trinity Lavra of St. Sergius, it all clicked. The combined effect of the gold, icons, paintings, candles, and vast spaces overwhelms anyone who enters. I urge anyone who visits Russia to come here.

The Dekalog 9 video is done and I'll release it this week. I've got a review of Stranger Things coming out soon, as well as a video about cowboys and samurais. Now that I'm in a quieter environment, I'm hoping to devote more time to Youtube and upload regularly.
