On December 9, the International Film Market and Forum "Russian Film Business" 25/26 opened at Mosfilm. This key business event will traditionally bring together over 2,000 film industry players from Russia, the CIS, and other countries and will serve as a platform for discussing trends, developing development strategies, and hosting exclusive presentations of resources, content, promotional campaigns, and film screenings.
The permanent venue for the forum is the Cinema Center (Mosfilm Cinema Park), a modern cinema complex with four screening rooms. Over the course of three days, it hosts presentations and screenings of films from leading distributors in Russia and the CIS, as well as a project marketplace.
