RUSSIAN FESTIVAL OPENS SYDNEY THIS THURSDAY!
September 4th 2007 06:09
Quick note to all you festival goers out there. This Thursday in Sydney is the Opening night of the Russian Resurrection Film Festival with the wonderful Stolichnaya people providing all in attendance with a few shots of their delicious vodka to warm the hearts and fire up the mind before we enter the fantasy world of Wolfhound an amazing film directed by Nikolai Lebedev.
Wolfhound smashed all records at the Russian box office in 2006,delivering high class fantasy with enough magic sword wielding muscle and dark arts sorcery to satisfy any feverish imagination.
And then on Sunday, the epic production of Tolstoy’s WAR AND PEACE which comes in at an astonishing 505 minutes with amazing battle scenes reconstructed without the special effects people to help like they are want to do in today’s cinematic experiences. Winner of the 1969 Academy Award for best foreign film, this is one hell of a way to spend your Sunday afternoon. Of course there will be refreshments provided. Not even the world famous Cossack Soldiers would be able to go this long without a quick break to shoot down once again a short shot of vodka.
Audiences in Melbourne are still talking about this years festival. Some of the finest contemporary cinema combined with fantastic period pieces including ‘DayWatch’, the sequel to the vampire thriller ‘NightWatch’, which broke all post-Soviet box office records in 2004. Day Watch has continued the excitement, proving doubly successful and doubly loved. Recently screening at the Sydney Film Festival to great acclaim.
On Friday the 7th the event will be opening in Canberra before moving to Brisbaneon the 13th and finally finishing in Perth September 13 to 17.

I know one of the co-ordinators of the festival, John Cole.
I'll email him this post. I'm sure he'll love the extra publicity.
Love & stuff
