Business session. Filmmaking in Russia: a new stage.
In the spring of 2022, the Russian film industry is facing a test of strength. Large Western specialized producers of content, technologies and equipment have left the domestic market, but Russian film companies and representatives of creative professions have the opportunity to demonstrate everything that our industry has mastered in the 21st century.
Soviet cinema and the Russian acting school are brands that have long been known throughout the world and, at the same time, the foundation on which modern Russian cinema stands. Our artists and directors have experience of participating in the largest international projects and winning the world's major film festivals. This year, the state has significantly increased the amount of financial support for film production, regional governments are actively introducing rebates for filmmakers who come to shoot films and series in their regions. All of the above gives reason to believe that Russian cinema will be able to attract and retain the attention and interest of the audience, but at the same time, there are a number of issues that require immediate discussion and resolution.
