Film historian Stanislav Lugovoy will analyze regional cinema as a living conversation about people, places, and themes that rarely get the spotlight but help to see the country more broadly. The focus of the meeting will be films in which different corners of Russia become full participants in the narrative. Such works help to see what themes concern authors and viewers in the regions: family memory, life in small towns, local traditions, a sense of home, changes, loneliness, and the search for support. Film historian Stanislav Lugovoy will discuss the phenomenon of regional cinema and explain why this layer increasingly influences the conversation about contemporary Russian cinema. The discussion will revolve around films united by a sincere and careful gaze at everyday life beyond the capital's narrative. Where to go in Moscow today will be told by our website.
