Filmmaking in the New Reality
In the face of harsh sanctions pressure, the Russian film industry has found itself in an unprecedented situation. Major Western film companies have left the domestic film market, and Russian film producers have lost co-production partners. As a consequence, many promising projects have been put on hold. How will the Russian film industry develop under the sanctions? What anti-crisis measures to support the film industry during a period of high volatility is the state ready to offer, both at the federal and regional levels? What niches in the film market are open to domestic filmmakers today? What majors in film education will be a priority in the near future? Are animation film technoparks a new growth point in filmmaking? Will the demand for Russian film festivals increase against the backdrop of sanctions restrictions?
