Since the cognitive accessibility of the visual media appeals to all human beings regardless of their cultural affiliation, it is more apt to convey cross-cultural messages than other media. Eitan Anner's <em>Half Russian Story</em> evokes common emotional and sensory responses to dancing and romantic plots in order to bridge between the Israeli mainstream culture and the Russian immigrant minority in Israel. </span></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; unicode-bidi: embed; direction: ltr;"><span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"> </span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; unicode-bidi: embed; direction: ltr;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;"><strong><span style="mso-ansi-language: FR;" lang="FR">Abstract (F): </span></strong><span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold; mso-ansi-language: FR;" lang="FR">Dans la mesure où il est commun à toutes les cultures du monde, l’art fonctionne comme un support de pensée et d’émotion humaines.
