Dear Mosfilm employees! Dear film studio partners and moviegoers!
Happy New Year 2026! For us at Mosfilm, the past year has been filled with important accomplishments of which we are rightfully proud.
First of all, it's important to note that Mosfilm remains unique and the only truly profitable enterprise in Russia's cultural sector. We operate without government financial support, using our own resources exclusively, and we pay taxes. This is our fundamental position and, in my view, a standard to which everyone should aspire!
Modernizing our film and television production facilities is a dynamic, ongoing process. Every year, we purchase the latest cameras, upgrade equipment, and develop our studio infrastructure to create products that meet the highest global standards.
This year, the Mosfilm Cinema Center was recognized as Moscow's best movie theater. We managed to overcome a daunting challenge: not just building but also operating this venue, making it a true cultural hub for the capital. Today, the cinema center is bustling with activity, hosting a wide variety of events, and screenings of restored Mosfilm classics often outstrip contemporary films in terms of audience size.
Don't forget that we have exciting premieres awaiting us! Next year, we plan to release three films at once, all of which we are producing with our own funds: the sports drama "Teofilo," a joint project with Cuban filmmakers; the comedy "Deadmobile" (with the Kinoteka film company); and our own major project, the drama "Survive the Ice," which begins filming in February. We are confident that these films will find their audiences in 2026!
All our successes have been made possible thanks to the Mosfilm Film Concern team. I express my sincere gratitude to all Mosfilm employees for their honest and dedicated work. My warmest words and best wishes to the millions of viewers of Mosfilm's online resources worldwide. This year, our official YouTube channel has grown to 7 million subscribers! Mosfilm's Rutube and VK channels are also showing steady growth. Your love of cinema and support give us strength and confidence!
A special thank you to Mosfilm's partners – everyone who worked with us this year, everyone who is choosing a long-term partnership with the studio! We wish each other continued success and productive collaboration.
Dear friends! I sincerely wish you good health, happiness, prosperity, and the fulfillment of all your plans in the new year! May the coming year bring many pleasant events and fill your home with happiness and warmth! And, most importantly, I wish victory to our great country!
Happy New Year 2026! Merry Christmas!
