The International Week “Peoples of Russia” in 2026 took place from November 2 to 8 and was dedicated to the theme of solidarity among states through the unity of peoples and traditional values. The Security Council apparatus acted as the coordinator of the events, with the Roscongress Foundation as the operator. One of the key venues of the week was the Film Forum, which gathered representatives of the film industry from Russia, CIS countries, and distant foreign nations. Its program included screenings of contemporary and archival films, international discussions, professional meetings, and presentations of the capabilities of Russian film production. The Film Forum was organized with the assistance of the Ministry of Culture of Russia, ROSKINO, the Moscow Department of Culture, and Gazprom-Media Holding.
On November 5 and 6, excursions to the leading film studios of the capital, including Mosfilm, were organized for Russian and foreign participants of the forum.
The introduction to the film concern began with the Mosfilm Museum, which features genuine exhibits from the studio’s history: vintage cars and carriages, costumes, props, and filming equipment from various years used in the shooting of well-known domestic films. Then the delegation inspected the outdoor set—a complex of permanent open-air decorations recreating urban development from different historical eras. Scenes for feature films and TV series that require historically accurate settings are filmed here.
At the Costume and Props House, opened in 2019, guests were shown one of the largest collections in the country of costumes, footwear, headwear, and props. Among the exhibits are costumes from the films “Cruel Romance” and “War and Peace,” crafted with the same precision as authentic attire from the 19th-20th centuries. Participants also visited the Sound Studio of the film concern — one of the largest sound recording complexes in Europe, where symphony orchestras and film music are recorded, and a full cycle of sound work is carried out: voiceover, sound effects design, and re-recording.
Particular interest was sparked by the 17th shooting pavilion — the most modern on the studio. Its ceiling height is 16 meters, two transport entrances are provided for the construction of sets, and walls more than a meter thick provide maximum soundproofing. The same building houses dressing rooms, costume rooms, and a large hall for extras. The delegation became acquainted with the comprehensive set built for the filming of K. Shakhnazarov’s film “Joseph Stalin. Moment of Truth” (working title).
The tour at the Cinema Park Mosfilm Center, connected to the filming studio, has concluded. The complex has four cinema halls: a premiere hall with 522 seats, two halls with 100 seats each, and one with 50 seats; the main hall is equipped with a 4K resolution laser projector and a screen covering 227 square meters. Today, the Cinema Center serves as a venue for premieres, festivals, and professional events.
Members of the delegation noted the scale of Mosfilm’s production facilities, the studio’s careful attitude towards its heritage, and the high technological level, and expressed interest in further cooperation.
