Pushkin - Last Duel

On the second day of the Festival, we had the opportunity to be the first in the States to present the newest movie “Pushkin - Last Duel” focusing on the last days of the poet, introduced by its director Nataliya Sergeyevna Bondarchuk. In this compelling movie, the role of Pushkin was played by the most popular Russian actor today, Sergey Bezrukov.

The screening of the movie took place at the University Theater on Saturday evening for the first time in the US, to be precise - the first official screening anywhere, including Russia (!).
