The Russian Content Worldwide stand, organised by ROSKINO with the support of the Ministry of Culture of the Russian Federation, will be the largest presenter at the content market.
The project's mission is to introduce Russia to the international film industry, stimulate regional film production, and enhance the country's tourism potential.
St. Petersburg, Russia, will host a screening of five African films from South Africa, Angola, Kenya, and Tanzania on July 28-30.
As part of the event, 'Chink: the Tailed Detective', the first full-length animated film built entirely on computer game engines, premiered.
Russian online cinemas will be widely represented, with market majors Kinopoisk and IVI participating for the first time as part of the RCW stand.
The goal was to promote and expand Moscow's cultural and business presence in the UAE, as well as highlight the creative capability of Moscow's animation studios.
The Russian content industry and main state bodies will launch the digital market to be held from June 8 in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
