Another way of learning peoples and culture aside from traveling is to watch them being artistically showcased in a movie. Mosfilm Studios in cooperation with the Embassy of the Russian Federation, Film Development Council of the Philippines, Arts Council of Cebu Foundation, Ayala Center Cebu and the Philippines-Russia Friendship Society, Inc., is inviting Cebuanos to learn the intriguing culture of Russia as we celebrate the 35th anniversary on June 2, 2011 the establishment of diplomatic relations between the Russian Federation and the Republic of the Philippines.

The Russian Film Festival is a major cultural event that brings to the Philippine audience the best of Russian Cinema today as well as real masterpieces from its glorious past.

Also, to commemorate this 2010 the 65th anniversary of their victory in the Second World War to which the Soviet Union made tremendous contribution, a photo exhibition will be mounted for the duration of the festival.

The Festival is offered free to the public on March 26 & 27 at Ayala Onstage on a first-come, first-seated basis up to maximum theater capacity. The Films will have English subtitles.
