18th Russian Revival Film Festival is launched in Australia, TASS reports. One of the largest festivals dedicated to Russian films is held in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Perth.
The head of the festival Nikolai Maksimov noted that 6 films were included in the program this year. He admitted that the festival has partially suffered from coronavirus pandemic, although the audience will enjoy the new exciting program for sure.
Russian Ambassador Alexei Pavlovsky said that thanks to events like this one, the locals get the opportunity to have impartial picture of Russia that doesn’t depend on propaganda stereotypes and primitive clichés.
Russian Revival will screen such films as Ivan Denisovich by Gleb Panfilov, The Case by Alexei German Jr., On the Edge by Eduard Bordukov. Also in the program are The Peasant by Klim Shipenko (The International Space Station sci-fi director), Doctor Liza by Oksana Karas, A Dog Named Palma by Alexander Domogarov Jr.
As we reported earlier, the 17th Russian Revival Russian Film Festival was opened in Sydney in 2020 with the screening of the Last Frontier drama. Tickets for the first day of the Sydney festival were sold out in one day.
