Nina Romodanovskaya wrote:September 5, 2013 Film Festival kicked off in Toronto and at the same time for the professionals of the industry opened the doors Industry Centre. At this year's film market works organized by the Ministry of Culture of the joint stand RU.C RUSSIAN CINEMA, where domestic manufacturers and distributors can present their projects to foreign purchasers.

Film Market in Toronto for the joint stand RU.C RUSSIAN CINEMA became the fifth international film market in 2013, the year. This year, the stand has already worked at the European Film Market (European Film Market) in Berlin, FILMART market in Hong Kong, the market MIPTV in Cannes, Marche du Film at the Cannes Film Festival.

At the end of last year by the Ministry of Culture industry experts have compiled a list of the markets in which to present the stand RU.C RUSSIAN CINEMA for the international promotion of Russian cinema. It is covered by Marshe du Film in Cannes and Berlin EFM added to Toronto Film Market, MIPCOM and MIPTV, Film Market in Busan, South Korea, Hong Kong and film markets Sigapure. The experts decided not to include in the list of Film Market at the Venice Film Festival, as long as this market is in its infancy.

Igor Shibanov, CEO and organizer of the official operator of the stand - the company "Ekspokontent": "We conducted a survey, the list is based on the priority needs of the Russian content and promotion prospects of existing markets. For example, the Venice Mostra - one of the most important film festivals in the world, but the film market at the festival virtually no: last year it employed a total of nine stands, and two of them were Russian. But the film market in Toronto in terms of integration into the world and cinema - one of the best points of entry in America. All the more so in Canada has many different programs to support film production, working there are very active film companies and foundations. We believe that in Canada, it is already possible to build cooperation of the Russian film industry."

The program of the Toronto Film Festival this year involved three Russian films: "Mayor" Yuri Bykov and "Eight" by Alexei Uchitel hit the program CONTEMPORARY WORLD CINEMA the show, and "Heavenly wife Meadow Mari," Aleksei Fedorchenko will be shown in the section "Vanguard." All three paintings are also represented in the film market. International promotion of "Major" and "Eight," the company does "Roskino" and "Heaven's wife Meadow Mari" included in the package of the new international distribution companies of Anton Mazurova Antipode Sales & Distribution, which is part of the joint stand RU.C - RUSSIAN CINEMA also presents "The Geographer Globe propyl" Alexander Veledinsky and "Intimate place" Natalia Merkulovoj and Alexei Chupova . International buyers will be able to attend special screenings of the films in the market.

Along with Antipode Sales & Distribution at the stand of the Russian cinema RU.C - RUSSIAN CINEMA in Toronto will present their projects to such filmmakers and distributors as Wizart Animation, RWS, the Agency "Intercinema" Bazelevs, Total Content and Russian World Vision.

Constantine Elkin, Russian World Vision: "Stand RU.C RUSSIAN CINEMA gathers in one place a wide variety of domestic projects, which allows us as a company that sells Russian cinema, look more convincing. Having a common stand on which we are from year to year, we invite our partners, helps to strengthen relations with buyers from different countries and shows customers that the Russian cinema has a future in the international market. Also as part of the stand we have the ability to communicate closely with their Russian counterparts and, therefore, establish partnerships."

Most recent films presented for sale at the booth RU.C - RUSSIAN CINEMA Canadian viewers will be shown as part of Russian Film Week in Canada, have also supported by the Ministry of Culture of the Russian Federation.

While stand RU.C RUSSIAN CINEMA does not make the selection - may become a party to stand any company that is interested in participating in a particular market. In the market Marche du Film a number of companies granted a special place in the stand, but always organized and common space for meetings. Igor Shibanov says: "While this is possible, we will expand. But soon there will come a time when we can not accept all applicants at least from a purely spatial constraints. But by the time the market will already have some structure and be designated by the key players who will be able to provide services to promote films in the framework of the stand to the public."

According to Alexandra Modestova, commercial director of the company "Ekspokontent" evaluate the effectiveness of the stand on a particular film market is difficult. Transactions with buyers of content - a long process: from dating while working on the film market stand before the signing of the contract may take a year, so debriefing immediately after the film market is not always significant. However, it is clear that interest in Russian cinema in the international market is. This can be seen both in the number of business meetings in the framework of the stand, and on the combined success of the participating companies.

For example, companies Wizart Animation during participation with a stand RU.C RUSSIAN CINEMA film markets in the Cannes and Berlin managed to sell the rights to broadcast the animated film "(The) Snow Queen" in the United States, Hungary, Bulgaria, Germany, Brazil, Indonesia, South Korea and Israel. "In animation in the international market is more likely than any other project. Animated films - easily convertible product, usually not tied to national realities. Especially since the "Snow Queen" is based on Andersen's fairy tale, famous European writer. This painting was originally destined for success,"- said Alexander Modestova.

Producer Wizart Animation Yuri Moskvin, "Stand RU.C RUSSIAN CINEMA - great idea. It allows you to present the maximum number of products out of our country, and therefore is of great interest from buyers from all over the world. And, we will not hide, initiates an easy competition among the participants, which gives us all an incentive to work more, and most importantly - better. The joint stand - a very effective format. After all, under one roof gathers the best producers areas and anyone coming to the booth, get a full picture of what is happening and is produced in Russia. We do not just help to make deals and conduct important negotiations. We hope that this story will be continued and the organization stand RU.C RUSSIAN CINEMA at international film markets will become a tradition."

According to Igor Shibanov, General Director of "Ekspokontenta" is very important to continue to expand the geography of RU.C - RUSSIAN CINEMA at international festivals and markets, and a presence in Toronto - an important step on the way. "Active promotion of Russian cinema to Western markets is just the last few years, and actually developing before our eyes. A drop hollows out a stone, slowly we are 'dostuchishsya to heaven'" - says Shibanov. "That is why it is so important government support the promotion of Russian cinema - among the countries in the film market and the content there is a serious competition, and without government support to be visible and 'adult' would be very difficult."

What are the steps in this direction will take the Ministry of Culture, will be clear in the autumn, in September the Minister of Culture Vladimir Medina will make a final decision on the results of the direction of international promotion of the movie.

According to Vyacheslav Telnov, head of the Department of Cinematography of the Ministry of Culture, Ministry of Culture of Russia now pays great attention to the promotion of Russian films in the international markets. "At the moment our efforts are concentrated on the promotion of the system of international film festivals and markets the best of copyright and commercial films made in recent years and received state support," said Vyacheslav Tel'nov. At the same time, maintaining RU.C RUSSIAN CINEMA, Ministry of Culture has been involved in the presentation and promotion of national cinema abroad, creating the conditions for business meetings and presentations, film projects, the establishment of business relationships and links between Russian and international film industry."
