Russian Resurrection Film Festival 2019

From big-budget action blockbusters, to razor sharp female-led comedy and edge-of-your seat thrillers, the Russian Resurrection Film Festival is proud to be returning down-under in 2019, bringing with it a smorgasbord of the very best new Russian cinema.

The 2019 Festival will screen 16 brand new features and three retrospective classics across Perth (25–30 October), Brisbane (5–13 November), Canberra (6–10 November), Sydney (7–17 November), Melbourne (8–17 November), Gold Coast (9–10 November) & Adelaide (14–17 November).

Festival Highlights:

Big budget fantasy adventure Journey to China, sees international action-legends Jackie Chan (Rush Hour) and Arnold Schwarzenegger (Terminator) join forces on a supernatural journey from London to China jam-packed with breathtaking discoveries, bizarre creatures, Chinese princesses, deadly martial arts masters and a Dragon King.

Audiences can also look forward to historical drama Beanpole, which earned director Kantemir Balagov the Un Certain Regard Best Director Award and the FIPRESCI Prize for Best Film. Set during the devastation of World War II in Soviet-era Leningrad, the film is a powerful exploration of the lasting psychological, financial and physical impacts of war on society plus many more.
