Featuring indie, popular, documentary and arthouse works, the Russian Film Week in New York presents a side of cinema not often seen today in the US. Running December 6 to the 13th at the SVA Theatre (333 West 23rd Street) the fest features a range of films, along with live Q&As with the directors.

"At a time when some want to highlight differences among us, we want the 2019 Russian Film Week in New York to be a bridge to unite people across the oceans," said founders and presenters Maria Shclover and Irina Shabshis of The Cherry Orchard Festival Foundation. "We truly feel that artistry is a powerful force and can be the catalyst to show our commonalities."

Films include Acid, directed by Alexander Gorchilin, a silent manifesto of the generation of twenty-year-olds in search for life's meaning. Another Woman, directed by  Anna Parmas, in which a woman’s life spins out of control when she discovers her husband is having an affair. And the historical biopic, The Lenin Factor, directed by Vladimir Khotinenko, following Lenin’s rise as an immigrant to Zurich, to one of the most important figures of the 20th century.
