Last night was the gala opening of the „BRICS FILM FESTIVAL 2024” festival in Moscow, under the patronage of the great Russian actor and director Nikita Mikhalkov. The Moscow festival is the second oldest and second most prestigious in the world, second to the one in Venice, but two years ago its accreditation was withdrawn due to the sanctions imposed as a result of the Ukrainian war. 320 films from all over the world are participating in the competition, but we are happy that the film „21 Rubies,” directed by the Romanian Orthodox priest Ciprian Mega, was selected among the nine finalist films. I received some pictures from the opening event, where our Romanians were also guests of honor. In the images you can see our great and dear Dorel Vișan who, together with father Mega, frames the film’s producer, Laura Mega, on the red carpet. Oscar winner Nikita Mikhalkov, now 78 years old, also appears, as well as the famous Maria Zakharova who, although she only works in foreign policy, was invited to present an official message.
