The 28th Moscow International Film Festival offers some promising films Over the last 15 years, the Moscow International Film Festival has faced up to a range of problems -- on the financial and organizational fronts (now much improved) and in the artistic value of its central competition program. A decade ago, the country's film distribution industry was barely functioning, especially when it came to the art-house market that traditionally supplies festivals with their most interesting and critically acclaimed fare.
Today, major Russian films are released throughout the year, while art-house distribution has grown considerably. All that has affected MIFF's international profile -- though the jury is still out (so to speak) on whether it lives up to the standards of an event that at least nominally competes with Cannes, Berlin and Venice. Or, perhaps more to the point, with the Czech Republic's Karlovy Vary event, which usually opens within days of MIFF and concentrates to a large degree on Central European and Russian fare.
