We’ve prepared our usual list of the most interesting events in Moscow this weekend, October 17-18.
2MORROW/ZAVTRA FILM FESTIVAL WEEKEND
2Morrow Festival site
Over the past seven years, the International Festival of Independent Films 2morrow/Zavtra has established itself as one of the most outstanding events on Russia’s cultural scene. Currently in its eighth year, the 2015 edition of the 2morrow/Zavtra festival will provide metropolitan audiences with a unique opportunity to see some of the rare films that will not reach movie theaters in the country since they are not the blockbusters aimed at mass audiences favored by most film distributors.
This weekend, the festival will show the best short fiction, documentary and experimental films. On Saturday, you will see the first and second parts of the competition, short films and a retrospective of the iconic short films and Prototypes block presenting short videos, which became bases for loud full-length debuts.
