5th Russian Film Festival
4 - 13 November 2011, Apollo Piccadilly
Dear friends,
The Russian Film Festival is back for its fifth year! In November the festival will be offering the UK public an overview of the booming success in contemporary Russian cinema, screening the definitive new Russian releases. With Sokurov's Faust winning the Venice Film Festival this year and How I Ended Last Summer by Popogrebsky the crowing glory of last year's London Film Festival, Russian film is currently the belle of the ball at all international film festivals. Now is the time to find out what critics are all raving about.
The Russian Film Festival is presenting 10 of the best award-winning feature films - watch this space for the official announcement of titles! Alongside the main programme, Vitaly Mansky, Russia's master of documentary film, has put together a selection of contemporary Russian documentaries by women and about women. In addition we will be holding a special screening of short films including under the radar works by some of Russia's best directors.
And of course, there will also be the ever popular comprehensive and diverse programme of animation, ready to enchant adults and children alike with its charm and imagination.
We are delighted that as in previous years, Russia's best films will be presented at the festival by their world famous directors and actors who will join us for Q&As and discussions.
