Gabriel Polonsky is a filmmaker and animator - and just happens to come from a highly creative family that includes one of the trailblazers of the Boston Expressionist movement, Arthur Polonsky.

Gabriel is making a documentary about his father, the art-history movement in which he worked, and the major impact the artist had on painting (and his own artistic family).

Cambodia will not extradite Russian real estate tycoon Sergei Polonsky to Russia to face embezzlement charges, the Supreme Court ruled on Friday. The court said Polonsky, who was once worth $1.2 billion, will not be sent back because Cambodia had no extradition treaty with Russia. Polonsky is accused of fraud in a case in which authorities say 5.7 billion rubles ($175 million) was stolen from investors in a Moscow real estate development project. Cambodian authorities detained him in November last year and police said they were planning to extradite him at Moscow's request. Source: Reuters

A Cambodian court freed Russian real estate tycoon Sergei Polonsky on Monday and he will not be extradited to Russia to face embezzlement charges there, his lawyer said. Polonsky, who was once worth $1.2 billion (727.8 million pounds), is accused of fraud in a case in which authorities say 5.7 billion roubles was stolen from investors in a Moscow real estate development project. Cambodian police re-arrested Polonsky in November last year, planning to extradite him at Moscow's request. Polonsky's Cambodian lawyer Benson Samay said judges at closed-door decision at the Appeal Court on Monday cited the lack of an extradition treaty between Cambodia and Russia in informing their decision.

Jeffrey Horowitz, founding artistic director of Theatre for a New Audience, came to Bloomberg world headquarters in New York on Nov. 11 to discuss his troupe's new home in Brooklyn and its acclaimed inaugural production, Julie Taymor's staging of "A Midsummer Night's Dream." Called the Polonsky Shakespeare Center, the theater was made possible through a partnership between the city and the company's private benefactors. They included a last-minute $10 million contribution from a London-based businessman who had never seen one of their shows, but was born in Brooklyn. Photographer: Philip Lewis/Bloomberg
