Russian Film Week is a festival showcasing modern Russian films to the UK and international audience and, simultaneously, is a series of workshops and Q&As with industry professionals (directors, actors, producers) dedicated to nurturing young talent internationally, as well as promoting Russian-British coproductions.
The first Film Week was held in 2016 and it was attended by more than 4500 audience members and 50 Russian and European film-makers. We screened 27 films in venues across London such as Regent Street Cinema, as well as in the Cambridge University. This year we are aiming to showcase more than 50 films and expand our industry workshop programme.
The festival's patrons include Elliot Grove, the founder of the Raindance Film Festival, Eduard Pichugin, the board member of the Union of Cinematographers in Russia and General Director of Lenfilm Studios, as well as Ralph Fiennes and Brian Cox among others.
This year the festival is also supported by the Russian Ministry of Culture and the British Council.
