Greeting on the opening of the 40th Moscow International Film Festival

April 19, 2018

Vladimir Putin sent greetings to participants and guests at the 40th Moscow International Film Festival.

The message reads, in part:

“The Moscow Festival is always a great, bright and truly festive event, attracting the attention of both professionals and film-lovers from many countries. This film festival is known for its remarkable history, rich palette of entries, and its friendly and hospitable atmosphere.

Performing a high spiritual, educational and enlightening mission, the MIFF holds to its traditions and presents the audience with high-quality, deep cinema. And of course, I would like to note the festival’s important role in strengthening international humanitarian and human contact and its significant contribution to the popularisation of outstanding achievements in domestic and world cinematography.

I am confident that the 40th Moscow Film Festival will be a success; it will please participants and guests with great premieres and leave positive and unforgettable impressions.”

The 40th Moscow International Film Festival is being held on April 19–26, 2018.
