The 2016 Russian Resurrection Film Festival!
Win a double pass to your choice of film
The 2016 Russian Resurrection Film Festival programme features quality Russian cinema – old and new. The highlights include the recent Cannes Film Festival hit, The Student from director Kirill Serebrennikov. The wonderful examination of the fractures between love and ambition in Moscow Never Sleeps from the Irish Muscovite Johnny O’Reilly. There are two huge blockbusters: Flight Crew and Icebreaker. Alexei Mizgirevs’ historical thriller The Duelist features Russia’s biggest film stars and premieres in Australia ahead of its domestic release. There’s The Good Boy, a playful romantic comedy about the mishaps of a mischievous 16-year-old. The comedies keep on rolling with No Borders, a must see almanac film from some of the most popular new directors about New Year’s Eve and love which is a theme that also fuels the hilarious Very Best Day. Then for something completely left-of-field, see Australia’s Martin Dingle Wall in the romantic-comedy All That Jam. The literary heritage of Pushkin appears in the terrific horror-thriller Queen Of Spades, which was the highest grossing local horror film in Russia. While Vera Storozheva’s latest feature, House For Rent, is a typically Chekhovian-style comic melodrama. The retrospective films feature digitally remastered masterpieces about great leaders – Eisenstein’s Ivan The Terrible, and Alexander Nevsky, and Kozintsev’s adaptation of Shakespeare’s classic, King Lear. Uniting the old and the new and the constant, complex theme of love we have Shakhnazarov’s Love In The USSR.
