European Oscar Submissions for Russian Audiences
The third edition of the European film showcase sees WESTWIND launching in style in St. Petersburg on October 21. The programme of theatrical screenings will serve as the engine for European Film Promotion's (EFP) first VoD festival on ivi, Russia's most popular online cinema.
Over the course of five days, EFP will present a wide range of European films with their directors, actors and screenwriters to St. Petersburg's local cinema audiences. With the change of location from Moscow to St. Petersburg and the extension of the cinema screening programme to include an online festival of 26 European Oscar submissions, EFP is reacting to the present unstable situation for European films in the Russian distribution market. WESTWIND is financially supported by the Creative Europe - MEDIA Programme of the European Union and the participating EFP member organisations.
