Vladimir Putin conducted a meeting of the Government Council on the Development of Domestic Film making at the All-Russian State University of Cinematography (VGIK)
“We have great cinematographic legacy. Our films traditionally receive prestigious awards at international festivals. However, our films have not yet won a mass foreign audience. In other words, we are still unable to exert in full measure economic, cultural, and humanitarian influence, which is one of the most important and serious tasks of domestic film making.”
