Moscow Film Festival to feature 20 competitors in late June
MOSCOW, June 1 (RIA Novosti) - Moscow will host an annual international film festival June 21-30, with about 20 pictures featuring in the competition program, the chairman of the festival selection committee said Friday.
Andrei Plakhov said the program would feature three Russian films - Larisa Sadilova's Nothing Personal, Vera Storzheva's Traveling with Pets, and Valery Ogorodnikov's Putina.
Three non-Hollywood American films have also been announced in the competition program, Plakhov said.
The Moscow international film festival has been held since 1959. In 1972, it was registered with the International Federation of Film Producers Associations as a major and prestigious festival with the same status as the festivals of Berlin, Cannes, San Sebastian, Karlovy Vary and Venice. The Moscow festival has been held annually since 2000.
