The "Zabaikalian Pears" program in the framework of the VIII ZMKF

The VIII International Zabaikalsky Film Festival presents the “Zabaikalian Pearls” program, in the framework of which films made over the past three years on the territory of Zabaikalsky Region will be shown.

The nature of the Zabaikalsky Region is truly amazing. Boundless taiga and wide steppes, swift rivers, blue lakes and harsh cliffs - all this attracts famous directors, actors, screenwriters who search for the best places to film as well as for an inspiration. People’s stories born in the region are included in the plots of films and resonate with many viewers.

“The Baikal Mining Company annually supports the International Zabaikalsky Film Festival in the framework of socio-economic cooperation with the government. This year pictures that were shot in the region will be presented to the viewer's attention. This means that the IZFF platform makes it possible to intensify the development of the regional filmmaking and the cultural life of the region overall”, noted the Director General of the BMC Yuri Ryabov.

In the " Zabaikalian Pears " program will be included films such as:
