The Russian Film Festival in China has become the most successful event in the entire history of the RFF project, and we are already in dialogue with Chinese partners about areas of cooperation in 2023," Roskino General Director Inna Shalyto said.  

The director of Attraction, Fyodor Bondarchuk, noted that Chinese viewers today can rightfully be called the most devoted audience of blockbusters, adding that it is "a great joy" for Roskino to gain recognition from the Chinese moviegoers well acquainted with this genre, according to the report.
