The Russian program of the 37th MIFF will be opened by a film by Vasily Sigarev

MOSCOW. On June 20 at the Cinema House will open the special project "Russian Programs" at the 37th Moscow International Film Festival (MIFF). The opening film will be the film “Country of OZ” directed by Vasily Sigarev.

Earlier, the beginning of a special project with the screening of the film "Angels of Revolution" by Alexei Fedorchenko was announced, but for some unknown reason, the organizers replaced the picture. “It is still unknown whether the film, in which there are a lot of obscene language, will go in the author’s version or will they show an edited version of the tape prepared by the director for wide distribution,” the organizers explain.

More recently, the film "Country of OZ" took part in the competition of the Kinotavr festival in Sochi, from where it brought a prize for the best script. The main character of the film Lena on New Year’s Eve comes to the big city to arrange her personal life. Here she is faced with many trials and adventures, as well as meeting different people who enthusiastically celebrate the national holiday.

The opening of the "Russian Program" will precede the screening of the painting "Archipelago" by Tatyana Voronetskaya, which will be held June 19. Alexey Fedorchenko’s film “Angels of Revolution” will be shown on June 24. Also, within the framework of the special project, screenings of films “Under the Electric Clouds” by Alexei German Jr., “No comment” by Artem Temnikov, “Pioneer Heroes” by Natalya Kudryashova, “Witch” by Dmitry Fedorov, “Guest” by Denis Rodimin and others will be screened. The closing film of the “Russian Program” will be the film “Memory of Autumn” by Andrei Sokolov.

The 37th Moscow International Film Festival will be held from June 19 to 26 at the site of the Oktyabr movie theater.
