Theatre director from Dagestan, my friend, was in Moscow recently and while meeting with some film industry pals to discuss various projects asked what they thought of a film idea based on Nord Ost events. Their reply was, great... but not here and.. not now and... not on our money and... not for our audience. This reminded me of a line from Evgeni Schawarz's play The Dragon when the city governor is asked if Lancelot the warrior can with the battle over the almighty Dragon, he says, sure he can, but... not now and... not here an...d not over the Dragon and... not Lancelot. The man was a genius.
