# [2019.12.23] Research Institute for Cinema and Photography

I've never been to this place before. I didn't even know what the
building opposite to Moscow Finance and Law Academy was, although
I've been to the latter several times during my student years. The
entrance resembled the main building of my university, and the
courtyard looked like any other abandoned territories of
long-dysfunctional Soviet-era institutions in Moscow. This one lends
their rooms for plenty of establishments at one of which my
ex-colleague celebrated his birthday tonight. All in all, it was fun.
