Moscow, Dec 9 (Prensa Latina) Russian Culture Minister Olga Lyubimova announced that she expects an increase in the distribution of domestic films over the next two years due to the number of movies produced with state support.

The minister stated, “The Russian Culture Ministry issues distribution certificates, and we expect in the coming years a growth in the film distribution market, as well as an increase in the number of films produced with state support.”

Lyubimova clarified that her ministry also decided to finance sequels to popular films with non-reimbursable funds, provided that they are released between June 1 and August 15.

The minister emphasized, “This measure will contribute to the creation of a uniform release schedule starting next year.”

She also underscored that the ministry supported more than 150 domestic films in the main competition in 2025.

Lyubimova stated, “Within the framework of the main competition, the production of 154 films, including 41 animated films, 50 fiction films, and 63 documentary films, was supported.”
