The Chinese leader Xi Jinping suggested to the Russian President Vladimir Putin to develop cultural ties and to cooperate more actively in film production. Thus, the first full-length Russian-Chinese action movie “Red Silk” is already being prepared for release. The premiere of the movie is expected in early 2025.
In addition, this year Russia proposed to create a high-level Russian-Chinese film festival.
“We propose to create an independent open Eurasian film festival and film award, as well as the Intervision music competition,” Russian Culture Minister Olga Lyubimova said.
Exchange film festivals have already become an annual tradition: for example, in August the film screening was held in the Celestial Empire. 8 Russian films were watched by more than 2.3 thousand viewers. Love for Russian films in China brings not only popularity, but also good profits: over the past six months, domestic films have collected in the PRC $ 1.8 million, making China the leader in box office receipts of Russian films abroad.
As part of the Russia-China Forum, Kazan will host the return Days of Chinese Cinema. The audience will see popular films of the Celestial Empire translated into Russian at the MIR movie theater:
- Nov. 13, 6:00 p.m.-8:00 p.m. - “Step to a Dream: Once and for All” Film, 2023.
- Nov. 14, 2 p.m.-4 p.m. - “I Love You!” Film, 2023.
- Nov. 14, 6:00 p.m.-8:00 p.m. - “Endless Journey” Film, 2023.
- Nov. 15, 2 p.m.-4 p.m. - “Chinese Ping Pong: Fighting Back from a Dead End” Film, 2023.
- Nov. 15, 6:30 p.m. -8:30 p.m. - “Yolo/Living Only Once” Film, 2024.
