A video about the poet's life, The Personal File of Anna Akhmatova, is based on her diaries and the memoirs of Lidiya Chukovskaya. It was produced in Russian by Semyon Aranovitch in 1989 and adapted to English by Maryna Albert in 1991. It is in Russian with English subtitles and is available from the Video Project division of Act Now Productions.

In 1998, Akhmatova's poetry was adapted to a stage play called The Akhmatova Project, created and directed by Nancy Keystone. The Critical Mass Theatre Company of UCLA staged the project. The play's web site at http://www .akhmatovaproject.com/page2.html provides full background and links to web sites consulted.
