In the space of a week Budapest can catch up with the best of current Russian cinema. Beside a bunch of short films, nine feature-length films by leading representatives of the latest generation of Russian directors who break with conventions, shatter taboos and renew genres, will also be screened.

The Spot
Director | Yuri Moroz
The everyday lives of three prostitutes in Moscow, the catastrophic uniformity of past and present, this full-length film takes a look at the harsh rules of a harsh world.

Khrustalyov, My Car!
Director | Alexei German
In the period of paranoia before his death Stalin had doctors of Jewish origin tried on trumped up charges in the so-called “doctor trials”. The film’s doctor-general Glinsky is one of the victims. The KGB sets a trap for him and then deports him in secret. A new approach to Stalin’s madness.

Tickets can be purchased at the venue.
