to Jul 11 | FILM FEST | Russian Film Cycle | Saldanha | 6€

We all know that Russia is good at vodka, winning world wars, not smiling, beautiful women, real estate, the U.S. elections, and now, it seems, football. But what most fail to consider when interrogating our brothers and sisters from the East is the country’s rich history of film.
With the World Cup (and its results) well under way, Medeia Films welcomes Russia- this Enigma: A Cinematography of Genius — a month long cycle of films celebrating the country’s finest films and filmmakers.
Don’t believe the hype and come be pleasantly surprised.
