FTV Organisers of Samizdat Film Festival Celebrate its Return
Samizdat Film Festival (https://samizdatfest.co.uk/) in Scotland, co-founded and ran by Ilia Ryzhenko, misha (irek) yakovlev and PhD students at other universities will run for its third year from 1st until 5th October in Glasgow and, for the first time ever, in Edinburgh on 19th October.
Named after the practice of clandestine dissemination of censored and forbidden texts in Communist states, Samizdat Film Festival is an audience-focused film festival based in Glasgow. The festival takes place annually at CCA Glasgow, online, on the streaming platform Klassiki, and for the first time this October in Edinburgh. With a diverse programme of meticulously curated retrospectives and new films, as well as special events (online panel discussions, silent films with a score performed live, showcases of short films). Samizdat is Scotland’s first festival of cinema from Eastern/Central Europe, Central, North and North-Easy Asia, and the Caucasus.

'Gaining Insight and Experience: My Week as a Runner on the Zoraide Film Set in Lucca, Italy' by Anfisa Semenova
This week FTV student Anfisa Semenova had a unique opportunity to work as a runner on the film set of Zoraide, a 9 Muse Films production. Read about her experiences below:
Shot in Lucca, Italy, being a runner on this film was an incredibly interesting and useful hands-on experience as I got an insight into the inner and outer workings of a professional film set, as well as learn about the production process and delve into it myself. Zoraide was a very special and important project to undertake because it is based on a true story that took place during the Second World War in the Tuscan hills of Compignano. The film aims to tell a harsh reality by exploring the ability of children to interpret the world with innocent eyes and with the curiosity of a pure heart. It was a pleasure to work alongside such a talented crew and contribute to the making of the film. As the post-production process begins, I can't wait to see the finished product with the premiere set for September 2024!
