The CentEast Market in Moscow is part of the CentEast Moscow Warsaw programme which presents works-in-progress from Central and Eastern Europe. The Moscow event will take place today, 16 October, in the iconic Gum on Red Square where a programme of 10 projects will be presented from Russia, Croatia, Ukraine, Hungary, the Czech Republic, Romania and Poland. A parallel programme will run in Warsaw on 19 – 21 October within the Warsaw FF.
The Red Square Screenings (www.rac-cb.com) is a major new international film market that has appeared on the cinema calendar which its organizers have modeled on the experience of Unifrance which runs annual screenings of French films around the world as well at the Latin-American cinema market, Ventana Sur. The objective is to present a wide selection of Russian films from 2011-2012. Yesterday at the opening Red Square organizers announced the signing of a protocol with Jerome Palliard head of the Marche du Film who will cooperate on future Red Square screenings as the Marche already does at Ventana Sur.
