Russian film festival kicked off on Monday, January 27, in Pancevo (Serbia), TASS reported. It opened with a screening of Andrei Kravchuk's Admiral. The Slavic Union Association of Serbian-Russian Friendship, with the support of the Russian House and the local library, organized the festival.

The festival has brought to Serbia features directed by Soviet and Russian directors. Robert Resanovich, who heads the Slavic Union, noted that the festival was held for the third year in a row and locals showed great interest in it.

In addition to Admiral, the program included Fyodor Bondarchuk’s The 9th Company, Pavel Lungin’s Conductor and The Vanished Empire by Karen Shakhnazarov. Shakhnazarov’s We Are From Jazz shot in 1983 will also be screened during the festival.

The opening ceremony of the Cinema Week was held with the participation of employees of the Russian embassy, descendants of Russian emigrants, representatives of public organizations, students and schoolchildren studying the Russian language, as well as fans of Russian culture. The entry is free of charge for everyone. 

The Slavic Union Society is engaged in the development of Russian-Serbian ties. Earlier, its activists proposed to name one of Panchev’s squares in honor of Vasily Margelov, Hero of the USSR, who participated in the liberation of the city from the Nazis during WWII.
