Residents and guests of Rasskazovo are invited to enjoy a delightful selection of Russian films at the Smena cinema and concert hall this March 8, 2025. The lineup includes 'The Frog Princess,' 'Rodnina,' and 'One Good Day,' all offering diverse narratives and entertainment suitable for various age groups.
The family film 'The Frog Princess,' running for 95 minutes and rated for ages 6 and up, tells the enchanting story of a frog who takes pleasure in watching movies at the local summer cinema. Inspired by one such film where another frog transforms after catching a magical arrow, the protagonist embarks on her own quest. Her adventure takes unexpected turns, culminating with her discovering not the arrow but rather, a golf ball. This whimsical tale invites younger audiences to enjoy the magic of stories and dreams.
Then there's 'Rodnina,' which spans 135 minutes and is rated for viewers aged 12 and above. The biographical drama follows the life of Irina Rodnina, who, from the moment she steps onto the ice, realizes her true calling as an athlete. The film chronicles her remarkable rise to fame as she strives for Olympic gold, facing significant challenges along the way, including personal hardships. Despite battling illness and betrayal, her unbreakable spirit and love for skating propel her to legendary status within the sports world. With standout performances from actors such as Владислава Самохина and Евгений Ткачук, the film offers both inspiration and drama.
Last but not least, 'One Good Day,' which runs for 85 minutes and caters to those 16 and older, follows the ambitious Katya, who dreams of becoming a renowned fashion designer. Living in the unlikely small village of Жупа, she grapples with limitations placed upon her, especially the pressure from her mother to marry. Her desire to escape to Moscow leads her to experience bizarre time loops within one chaotic day. This comedic and adventurous tale, featuring Aнастасия Талызина in the lead role, explores the challenges of young adulthood, ambition, and the quest for personal identity.
These films are being screened as part of the federal project 'Pushkin Card' under the national project 'Culture,' which aims to introduce more Russian cultural productions to the public. The initiative is significant not only for its content but also for its role in increasing access to cinema and celebrating Russian storytelling.
Audiences can expect to enjoy other engaging films such as 'Northern Pole,' 'Prophet: The Story of Alexander Pushkin,' and 'Monkey' as part of the screenings at the Smena cinema. Rasskazovo's commitment to featuring quality cinema reinforces the importance of community enjoyment and cultural enrichment through film.
So, mark your calendars and get ready for a day filled with heartwarming stories and inspiring journeys at the Smena cinema this March 8!
