Russian Cinema Day is celebrated on August 27. This holiday was established in 1980 in memory of the nationalization of the cinema business in the country 105 years ago. And today we honor all those who, with their talent and work, create diverse worlds on the screen and fill them with vivid images, exciting plots and deep meanings.
Russian cinema is an inexhaustible treasure trove of masterpieces that have become part of our culture and history. It is enough to recall such significant paintings as "Battleship Potemkin" by Sergei Eisenstein, which laid the foundations of world cinema, "Mirror" by Andrei Tarkovsky, which still remains a mystery and a source of inspiration for many generations of cinematographers, "Andrei Rublev", which has become a symbol of philosophical and spiritual search in art.
Soviet and Russian cinema gave us films that have become an integral part of our lives — from epic canvases to chamber dramas. "Stalker", "Ivanovo Childhood", "White Sun of the Desert" — all of them have left an indelible mark on Russian culture, becoming symbols of our rich cinematic tradition.
On this day, I would like to express my gratitude to everyone who devoted themselves to Russian cinema: directors, screenwriters, cameramen, actors, editors and those who work every day to create magic on the screen. As a sign of respect and reverence, they are all presented with no less magical nostalgic gifts. These may be autographed photos of such world cinema stars as Sophia Loren, Dustin Hoffman and Tom Cruise, Alain Delon, film director Tim Burton. Or books with handwritten addresses and autographs by famous Soviet directors Anatoly Efros and Georgy Tovstonogov. And for a handwritten drawing by Federico Fellini or handwritten notes by Andrei Tarkovsky for the film "Stalker", connoisseurs are ready for a lot!
Today we join all congratulations and offer you a selection of exclusive gifts, which we have prepared especially for the day of Russian cinema. Let our films continue to delight the audience, conquer the hearts and conquer new heights! Happy holidays, dear filmmakers! I wish you inspiration, success and new great creations that will go down in the history of our cinema!
Light, camera, motor — the magic begins
