Almost three hundred films were sent to participate in the Moscow International Film Festival, including from 21 unfriendly countries. This was reported by the Secretary of the Central Committee of the United Communist Party Daria Mitina.

According to Mitina, almost 300 films from all over the world are presented, a significant part of which are international and world premieres, and some competitive and non-competitive programs are composed exclusively of premieres.

The largest number of films came from China, followed by France (20 films), Spain (15), Iran (14), USA (12), Brazil (10), Italy and India (8 each), Argentina (6), Turkey , South Korea, Japan, Belgium (5 each), Serbia, Austria, Qatar, Romania, Benin, Burkina Faso, Finland, Austria, Hungary, Greece, Estonia, Morocco, Paraguay, Cameroon, Mali, Guinea, Uzbekistan and others.

“Filmmakers will also come. According to the organizers, the only thing that interested all those invited was whether there were still Covid restrictions, or whether it was possible to go without a mask. Russia is in absolute cultural and diplomatic isolation!!! 21 countries that sent films are from the list of so-called unfriendly ones,” Mitina writes in her Telegram channel.

Russian cinema programs will include films that have lain on the shelf for a long time; they will show, in her words, a deleted scene from Abdrashit’s “Fox Hunt” – “no one has seen it!”

“And yes, there will be some sensational film about the SVO. As the selectors mysteriously put it, you’re unlikely to see him anywhere else,” notes Mitina.
