Cinematography- the art of film making, or better say creating the illusion of movement by recoding has been existing in the world for quite some decades now. This art of motion picture is deemed to evolve in the late 1880’s, and since then, there is no looking back. 

Cinema today has evolved tremendously- from the glamour of Hollywood to the charm of Bollywood, film making has is certainly flourishing, and Russian film industry is no different. Countless Russian TV programs, soap operas, and movies contribute to generating highly engaging content. But there is another part of the story. Several remarkable films of Russian cinema are becoming inaccessible to future generations and artists. Moreover, a massive fraction of global population is unaware about the magic Russian cinema brings. If this isn’t paid heed to, some great work of art will remain invisible to the world.
