Cinema is an art for everyone. Cinema, like a mirror, always reflects a person. Russian cinema is a great cinema: just like Russian literature, it makes the viewers think about themselves, about their soul and their life in society.

The period of "Socialism with a human face" of the 1960s

What films will we show?

Together with a professional historian of Russian cinema, we have compiled a program that gives you the opportunity to think about life and better understand yourself, as well as to get an idea of what a modern Russian person is all about.

Why to watch Russian films?

Russian film directors have played an important role in shaping the aesthetics of world cinema since the beginning of the XX century.

Charles Chaplin speaks about his shock at the film "Ivan the Terrible" by Sergei Eisenstein: "Eisenstein's film "Ivan the Terrible", which I saw after World War II, seems to me the highest achievement in the genre of historical films."

In his interviews, Lars von Trier has repeatedly said that he admires the talent of the Russian director Andrei Tarkovsky and often borrows some of his artistic techniques.

Francis Ford Coppola admitted that it was Sergei Eisenstein's film that determined his fate: "It was a black-and-white silent film, but sometimes it seemed that rifle volleys could be heard from the screen. I realized that day what I was going to do. The most attractive thing in cinema is the ability to edit. When you compose in some order the most unusual, the most exciting shots, you begin to feel like an alchemist, a sorcerer."

"I remember scenes or moments in films that even now remain incomprehensible to me. But when I saw them, I still felt some kind of revelation. As in the case of "Stalker" by the Russian director A. Tarkovsky",
Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu about Andrei Tarkovsky
