Last week we could attend to one of the most magical film festival in London. Either you are Russian or you are not but like new experiences this is something you cannot miss.
This festival took place at Regent Street Cinema in the heart of great London.
We met Russian film directors, actors and other celebs. The red carpet was not big which allow us to be to have little chats with the stars of their film projects.
The festival also organized different conferences, Russian art expositions and dinners.
We would like to highlight all the special Q&As that happened after each screening. Actors and directors answered all the audience questions really kindly.
If you do not speak Russian there are not any worries due to they translate all the conferences and events into English. Also, most of the films are subtitled in English.
We were really surprised about the amount of movies this festival has offered. You can check in their website all the screenings they have had.
You can find all kind of genres during this wonderful week. From drama to film documentaries all inspired in Russia. You can feel how Russian cinema is really worthy. The quality of the shootings, the great scripts and wonderful locations introduce you to the deepest part of Russia.
Apart from all the movies we strongly recommend we also loved all the conferences and master classes. From this kind of events you can learn all about film productions, budgets, behind the scenes funny moments.
This events usually last one hour and you can learn many stuff from all the directors and producers!
At the last point we would like to highlight the originality of this fantastic week. During the weekend the Russian Film Week wanted to honored all the directors, actors, actresses, producers etc for their outstanding work. The best of them were awarded with the Golden Unicorn Awards during the closing Gala.
To sum up, this week is full of art, interesting filmmakers and impressive, crazy and original movies.
If you are enthusiast of knowing new cultures this is your place. We strongly recommend you to attend next year in their 2nd edition!
