2010 marks the 150th anniversary of Anton Chekhov's birth. One of the most celebrated figures in the history of literature, his works still remain of great importance. 2010 also marks the 10th anniversary of Seagull Films, a company that during the decade since its formation has serviced North American audiences with the best of Russian cinema - named after the writer's famous play The Seagull. 

Celebrating Chekhov is a surgically selected package of Chekhov's finest filmic adaptations, and provides a deep cinematic look into the master's work at its best.

Running from January 9 through February 28, Celebrating Chekhov spans seven incomparable films - each playing twice only - presented on pristine 35mm prints. Select films will feature introductions by The Screen curator Brent Kliewer.
