   The almanach feature length documentary film “Cinetrain: Russian Winter“ will have its international premiere at one of the most prestigious international documentary film festival: “Visions du Réel” in Nyon, Switzerland!

   It’s the achievement of a dream for the Cinetrain team: the Cinetrain films have never been presented in the form of a feature length in competition of a prestigious festival. We are really proud and honoured.

   The film is composed of six award winning short novels exploring the stereotypes about Russia. The novels are directed by Cristina Picchi, Sandhya Daisy Sundaram, Benny Jaberg, Dieter Deswarte, Tristan Daws and Bernadett Tuza-Ritter.


   Schedule of the screenings: 
April 30, 21:00 Salle de la Colombière
May 1st, 16:00 Capitole 2

   A delegation of the Cinetrain: Russian Winter team will be present to represent the film.
We can’t wait to attend the festival and meet the audience there.
See you in Switzerland!
