Russian Cinema Week begins on Friday, November 20, in Singapore, the Rossotrudnichestvo website reports. It is held in the country for the second time. The first festival attracted great interest from local residents, so the organizers decided to make it an annual event.

Unfortunately, the unfavorable epidemiological situation forced many plans to be abandoned and the film screening, for the most part, to be transferred online. The opening ceremony will take place in the format of a teleconference. Many famous Russian actors are going to join it: Pavel Chukhrai, Gosha Kutsenko, Andrey Merzlikin, Yulia Peresild, Anna Chipovskaya, Vladimir Epifantsev and others.

In Singapore, representatives of government authorities, cultural institutions and the media will be involved in the opening ceremony of the festival.

Russian Cinema Week will be dedicated to the anniversary of the Great Victory. The festival program will include films shot over the past five years. In particular, it will be possible to see the The Balkan Frontier, Sobibor, Save Leningrad, The Battle for Sevastopo and others.

The organizers are confident that these film screenings will remind the public of the tragedy of the Great Patriotic War. The opening ceremony and screenings will be broadcast live on social media and offline in Singapore.
