The annual Russian movie festival Kinotavr has opened in the southern city of Sochi with a romantic comedy “Moscow, I love you”.

As in the previously released “Paris, I Love You” and “New York, I Love You”, the picture is a series of short stories set in the Russian capital. Each story is a mini-tale of love unfolding against Moscow scenery.

Unlike its foreign counterparts, which had international teams of directors, "Moscow, I Love You" is a fully Russian product.

The film features some of Russia’s leading actors in unusual roles, ranging from assassins and suicides to priests-turned-criminal-gang-members.

The film is to be released later this month.

A total of 14 movies are on display as part of the festival, most of them are debuts of young Russian directors. This year, the Russian video portal Ru-tube is among the partners of the festival. Thus, those who log-in will have a chance to see the latest news about the festival, interviews with movie personalities and trailers of new Russian films.
