Academia Rossica (London/Moscow) is a cultural organisation set up in 2000 to promote and strengthen cultural and intellectual ties between Russia and the West, pioneering intercultural projects and bringing the best of contemporary Russian culture to the West. With offices in London and Moscow, Academia Rossica acts as a bridge between these two thriving cultural capitals. Academia Rossica is a non-profit organization, and a UK registered charity.
Academia Rossica runs a programme of cultural events, including the London Russian Film Festival and aims to provide a platform for intellectual exchange between Russia and the UK through the Russian Publishers stand at the London Book Fair. Academia Rossica invites contemporary Russian writers and critics for a programme of seminars and discussions during the SLOVO Festival. There are also two literary translation awards presented by Academia Rossica: The Rossica Prize, for the best literary translation from Russian into English, and the Rossica Young Translators Prize, for anyone under 25.
London Russian Film Festival
Presenting new Russian Films, the London Russian Film Festival is a key event in UK’s cultural calendar. From its beginning in 2007, it has showcased the best new award-winning films, thought provoking documentaries and wonderfully imaginative animations, as well as selected retrospectives. All films have English subtitles. The festival is also a unique chance for UK audiences to meet international award-winning directors, world famous actors and major producers at masterclasses and special events.
Russian-British Co-Production and Distribution Forum
In 2011, Academia Rossica, supported by the Russian Cinema Fund and in partnership with the British Film Institute, launched this new initiative between the Russian and British film industries, as part of the Russian film festival. The forum brings together leading UK and Russian film professionals, helping to integrate Russian cinema into the international cultural scene, and explores and develops opportunities of collaboration and partnership.
