Film/Video PREMIERE CHEKHOV'S MOTIFS (CHEKHOVSKIE MOTIVY) DIRECTED BY KIRA MURATOVA FRIDAY, JANUARY 3,2003, 8 PM $7 ($5 WALKER MEMBERS) AUDITORIUM   Kira Muratova, recipient of the 2000 Andrzej Wajda/Philip Morris Freedom Prize, is one of Russia's leading contemporary filmmakers. She has distinguished herself through a radical approach to portraying fantasy and reality--and by breaking all the usual rules of storytelling. Muratova's obsessed creative mind can be best expressed through her own words: "Film is the production of specters. When I make a film, I take everything from myself, from everything that truly exists. It's a rough profession. We are like surgeons. The result is an illusion created by cruel means. . . . I want each character to have the effect of an emotional snakebite." Chekhov's Motifs, based on Anton Chekhov's play Tatiana Repina, teeters between tragedy and farce, revealing the irrational implications of ordinary life. 2002, Russia, B/W, 35mm, in Russian with English subtitles, 120 minutes.
