'100 Years of Russian Cinema'
Following the success of the First Russian Film Festival last year, Academia Rossica is proud to announce the official dates of the Russian Film Festival 2008!
From 18th- 28th of September 10 prize-winning films, produced in 2007-2008, will be premiered in London showcasing the very best of new Russian cinema.
The programme promises a variety of styles, genres and themes, depicting a multifaceted Russian culture from new, imaginative angles. The main programme - presenting the most recent works of young directors and well-established cinematic masters - will be accompanied by a selection of documentary, short and animation films for children and adults.
Audiences of all ages will have the opportunity to meet and share their thoughts with some of the most prominent figures of contemporary Russian cinema during numerous special events: talks, panel discussions and master classes.
The Russian Film Festival will also feature a special programme of experimental cinema created in partnership with the legendary Moscow film club Cine Fantom, and a premium selection of short films by young filmmakers presented by another prominent Moscow film club Art Kino.
A special issue of ROSSICA N19 journal dedicated to ‘100 Years of Russian Cinema’ will be presented during the Film Festival. It will cover various topics from unknown Russian films of the early 20th century to reviews of the best contemporary creations, and interviews with Russia’s most prominent filmmakers, thus presenting a broad and an in-depth overview of Russian cinematic culture from both international and national perspectives.
The Official Programme of the RFF 2008 will be announced in August.
Apollo West End with its 5 screens and ritzy bar will be the glamorous host of the festival, inviting audiences to experience Russian cinema in style! It is recommended to book your tickets well in advance. Priority will be given to Rossica film club members, ROSSICA journal subscribers and members of Apollo Cinemas.
