MUMBAI: The Indian Film Festival in Russia (IFFR) will screen three of director Shoojit Sircar’s movies namely Vicky Donor, Piku, and Madras Café. The film festival of Indian Films in Moscow will be held from 3-6 September, 2015.

Actor and singer Ayushmann Khurrana will be accompanying Sircar for the screening of their much appreciated movie Vicky Donor on the second day of the festival.

IFFR is aimed at bridging the gap between the two entertainment industries in the world - Russia and India. The festival will include top Bollywood blockbusters and celebrities from the Indian film fraternity. The choice of movies is intended to showcase the very wide range of cinema that emerges from Mumbai, the heart of the Indian film industry.

The IFFR aims to develop a deeper understanding and appreciation of Indian cinema and culture in the 21st century. The new generation of Indian producers and directors is now seeking to re-launch Indian cinema on Russia’s big screen.

The four-day festival will not only showcase a select number of recently released popular Hindi movies, but will also feature live classical music and dance performances by Russian artistes and Indian Kathak and Bharatanatyam dance groups.
