"Балабанов conducted for our cinema and - wider - for our country some very substantial work. For the world, I think, too, although the world looked at him with прищуром, however wishing to notice. Artists are happy: their life proceeds after their physical care, and the First Балабановские reading that next certificate and proof. We re-read Балабанова again and, as me it seems to, we do it deeper, more quiet and more intent" (Sergey Сельянов).In April, 2015 the First Балабановские reading organized by a magazine "Session" and by the movie company of СТВ passed in Saint Petersburg and Moscow. The key lectures of conference, in that киноведы and культурологи took part from Russia, USA and Spain, are published in the real collection.
