This is the festival’s 10th year in Russia. The festival prides itself on showing movies that have never been shown before in Russia and are not the usual blockbuster fare shown at the big movie theaters. The team at Cool Connections follows prominent film festivals, such as Sundance, Tribeca and New York Film Festival and selects those films that they think might be of most interest to a Russian audience.
