“Rendezvous with Russia”, a seven-day international film festival, will open on December 14 in the Vologda Region, featuring Russian and foreign films, documentaries and animated movies. The festival hopes to boost tourism in the region, hosting round table discussions to debate the future of the local tourist industry.
Taking into account the adverse epidemiological situation, the international festival will transfer to a remote and online format this year.
