V Moscow International Archive Film Festival
V MOSCOW INTERNATIONAL ARCHIVE FILM FESTIVAL • 26.09 — 05.10.2025 •
ABOUT THE FESTIVAL
The Moscow International Archive Film Festival is the successor to the Belye Stolby festival. Since 1997 it has been organised by Gosfilmofond of Russia to introduce film scholars and cinephiles to the collection of one of the world's most important and Russia's largest film archives. The programme consists of forgotten films underrated by their contemporaries: little-known scientific and spectacular entertainment cinema, as well as films previously considered lost. Most films are screened from film prints in the original language with Russian subtitles, and some screenings are world premieres.
FESTIVAL PROGRAMME
Dear friends!
On behalf of the Ministry of Culture of the Russian Federation, I congratulate you on the opening of the V Moscow International Archive Film Festival! The festival succeeded the Belye Stolby festival, which since 1997 has started a fine tradition of meetings between professionals and lovers of archive cinema. Over these years the Festival has become a significant cultural event with its own unique style.
The programme of the anniversary Festival is rich and varied: in the year of the 80th anniversary of the Great Victory, the theme of the Great Patriotic War runs through the screenings, and the youngest guests will see “Animation of the War Years”.
This year the V Moscow International Archive Film Festival widens its geography and invites filmmakers from friendly countries to Moscow. I am sure that the joint work of colleagues will make a significant contribution to intercultural dialogue and expand cooperation in the field of archive cinema.
I wish the organizers of the Festival success, bright ideas and inexhaustible inspiration, and the audience unforgettable impressions and a great mood!
