There's even more snow in Columbus today, so we asked some of our faculty, staff, and students about some of their favorite media to enjoy on a snowy day. See of some of the responses below!

Dr. Philip Gleissner

• The film Pervye na lune (First on the Moon, Aleksei Fedorchenko, 2005). It is a mockumentary that explores the alternate history of a Soviet moon landing under Stalin.
• Dmitri Alexandrovich Prigov: Soviet Text. A great new book of translations from the late Soviet conceptualist poet that was published by Ugly Duckling Press last year.

Films:

• Haytarma
• Leviathan

Music artists:

• Bulat Okudzhava (bard/folk music, Georgian),
• Молчат дома (Molchat doma) (synth-pop, post-punk, Belarusian),
• Anything put out by Ored Recordings, they are a group who do field recordings of traditional, folk, and modern music by artists in the North Caucasus. I like Pondar by Khava Khamzatova, a Chechen indie artist (link attached here: https://soundcloud.com/ored-recordings-1/khava-khamzatova-pondar). Their work can be found on bandcamp and soundcloud.

Books:

• The Mountain and the Wall, by Alisa Ganieva
• Ali and Nino, by Kurban Said

I'm from LA, but when I want to pretend it's a blustery snowy day, I'll listen to Joy Division or watch Edward Scissorhands
