Festival InformationAbout Academia Rossica Academia Rossica ACADEMIA ROSSICA ACADEMIA ROSSICA is a Russo-British foundation, founded in London in 2000, which supports and promotes cultural links between Russia and the West. The Russian Film Festival in London is organised by ACADEMIA ROSSICA and was launched in 2007. The festival allows a British audience to see the work of leading Russian filmmakers and presents a variety of styles, genres and themes which reflect the problems and hopes of today’s Russia. The main programme of the festival is made up of the premiere of the ten best critically acclaimed films of the year. The ROSSICA cinema club is a platform for showing Russian films between the festivals. The screenings of rare archive films, exclusive programmes and discussions between filmmakers and film experts have become important cultural events not only for film buffs but also for cinema specialists.

In addition, there will be numerous discussions between British and Russian intellectuals and publishers, as well as book presentations and talks by leading Russian writers, such as Dmitrii Bykov, Aleksandr Ilichevskii, Lev Rubinshteyn, Olga Slavnikova and Aleksandr Archangelskiy.
