While The Legend of Pancho Barnes kept Amanda Pope busy these last few years, a great deal of her time and energy was devoted to another project, The Desert of Forbidden Art which she co-directed with Tchavdar Georgiev. The film is now completed and there is wonderful news -- the film will have its debut at the 25th Santa Barbara International Film Festival! Desert tells the remarkable story of Igor Savitsky, a man who daringly rescued over 40,000 works of art from the clutches of the Soviet government. The collection he saved is housed in a museum located in the desert of Uzbekistan. For more information on the film and the premiere screening, visit the website http://www.desertofforbiddenart.com/
