Following the success of the 2nd Russian Film Festival, Academia Rossica Film Club returns with a new programme of film, discussions and special events, once again showcasing unique cinematic treasures from film archives.
ROSSICA FILM CLUB aims to present Russian cinema in the UK through a creative platform which will integrate Russian films into the culturally diverse London cinema world. The club meets once every two months to show ‘must see' sensational Russian films, many of which have never been shown in the UK.
Each film is selected and introduced by a film expert, a distinguished film director or an eminent cultural figure. The project aims to unite industry professionals and film academics with the general public and film lovers. The audience have an opportunity for informal discussions after each screening in the Apollo Cinema's stylish bar.
Anyone is welcome to attend ROSSICA FILM CLUB screenings. Club members, however, benefit from special offers and savings. Membership - annual fee is £24, £18 for concessions.
Membership benefits include:
Invitations to exclusive film events organised by ACADEMIA ROSSICA, including discussions and meetings with film makers and actors
2 for the price of 1 tickets to ROSSICA FILM CLUB screenings
Priority booking for the Russian Film Festival, November 2009
Invitation to the opening night after-party of the Russian Film Festival
A free introductory copy of ROSSICA Journal and 20% off subscription
Students
We strongly encourage students to become members, at the concession rate. The ROSSICA FILM CLUB will be an excellent platform for an informal education in Russian cinema and culture. Moreover, it will provide Arts students with a rare opportunity for networking with established academics, industry professionals and cultural figures. We hope that these cinematic works will expand your understanding of Russia and inspire new visions and ideas!
