It is remarkable that the Russian Resurrection in Australia and New Zealand remains the largest, oldest and most respected Russian film festival outside of Russia. Welcome to the XIV Russian Resurrection Film Festival we have quite a selection for you this year!
14 films have been chosen to celebrate one of the world’s most diverse film cultures. Viking, starring heart throbs Danila Kozlovsky and Svetlana Khodchenkova, is a thrilling, big-budget historic epic. In contrast, the award-winning Arrhythmia is a highly realistic, powerful and gripping arthouse drama. Russian cinema is known for its emotional intensity and Chukhray’s moving drama, Cold Tango, a film that brings to life the harrowing realities of what it is like to live in a country occupied by oppressive regimes. For something lighter see John Malkovich analyse the subject of love in About Love. Adults Only. Laugh out loud at the latest cook-off in The Kitchen – The Final Battle. Buckle up for the girls road-trip film, Blockbuster, and strap yourself in for Russia’s first alien invasion film, Attraction. READ MORE: http://russianresurrection.com/2017/welcome
