Dmitry Medvedev welcomed the participants, organisers and guests at the opening of the Russian film festival Kinotavr

June 7, 2008

His welcome read, in part:

”In the course of its creative life Kinotavr has gained wide recognition as an important forum for Russian film. This year it has again brought together many film fans and representatives of Russia's film industry in Sochi, both those who have already established their reputations as masters and many talented people just starting their careers.

Now that the Russian film industry is growing so impressively, it is particularly important that Kinotavr acts as a major platform for discussing the film industry. The key orientations for the future development of Russian film and how to promote Russian films abroad will be discussed at the meetings, round table discussions, and master classes at Kinotavr.“
