The documentary film“Dostoevsky Intercontinental,” produced by the TV BRICS joint editorial board, received a diploma“For Contribution to the Popularisation of Russian Culture in the BRICS Countries” at the 30th anniversary of the International film Festival“Literature and Cinema” in Gatchina.
Dostoevsky Intercontinental, represented by Nina Zimakova, Executive Producer of the International media Network, was one of 56 entries screened during the five-day competition program held from July 3rd to 7th.
Alongside the film screenings, the festival offered attendees a variety of creative meetings and masterclasses in various venues across Gatchina. The event attracted an estimated 5,000 visitors.
“Dostoevsky Intercontinental” is a collaborative project between TV BRICS and media partners from Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa.

film. He attributes this to the enduring appeal of Dostoevsky's work:“This is a timeless classic that belongs to the entire world,” he remarked.

to influence
contemporary authors, shaping their subject choices, narrative structures, and reinterpretations. The first film delves deeply into the national interpretations of Dostoevsky's phenomenon.
