St. Petersburg, Sept. 16 (Xinhua) — Chinese films have become more widely represented in Russia in recent years, and fans of Chinese cinema have emerged among the country's youth, Russian Culture Minister Olga Lyubimova said in a recent interview with Xinhua.
“People attend Chinese Film Weeks with great interest, which we try to hold not only in Moscow and St. Petersburg, but also in Kazan, Nizhny Novgorod and other cities,” said O. Lyubimova.
The Minister emphasized that Russians mainly watch Chinese historical dramas. For example, in September, the premiere of the film “The Photographer of Nanjing” was successfully held in Russia. According to O. Lyubimova, interest in other film genres, such as lyrical comedies, is also growing.
“Getting into Chinese distribution is a great honor for any producer in the world, since China has the largest cinema system,” she noted, adding that the two countries have signed agreements on joint film production so that Russian films can have this opportunity.
An example of such work, as the minister said, was the film “Red Silk,” which was released in China earlier in September, and a decision has already been made to film the second part of this film, which will be called “Black Silk.”
“This is very important because it allows us to work together and present our joint film production,” O. Lyubimova emphasized. According to her, Russia and China also participate together in international film festivals, and all this contributes to strengthening relations between the two countries. –0–
