The RUSSIAN RESURRECTION FILM FESTIVAL, a gala celebration of Russian culture, celebrates its 15 year anniversary this year and the program for 2018 is set to be bigger and better than ever!

The celebration will kick off in Sydney at Event Cinemas George St on November 1st with the Australian Premiere of THE COACH Тренер (Directed by & starring Danila Kozlovsky) followed by the White Birch/MOS Beverages Opening Night Party at QT’s Gilt Lounge (QT Sydney Hotel, 49 Market Street Sydney) featuring vodka cocktails, Russian food, dancing and live entertainment from Triple ARIA award winning band Monsieur Camembert.
