From 2 to 5th of May, Russia’s Northern Capital hosts the St. Petersburg International Film Forum.

In the year of the 65th Anniversary of Victory, the public will be offered Russian and foreign films on the theme of war. In all, around 100 films are slated to be screened, among them both classics and new, as yet unrecognized masterpieces of Russian and foreign filmmaking. Audiences will also see retrospectives of war films and selections of documentaries and animation on the subject of war.

Almost all the city centre cinemas – Dom Kino, Rodina, Khudozhestvenny, and Avrora – will be showing not only their regular scheduled programmes, but also holding free screenings. This  event will launch the first St. Petersburg International Film Festival next year. St.Petersburg Internationsl Film Forum
