2.     Volunteer Program "Pomoshnik"

Russian Ethnic Representative Council (RERC) introduces a volunteer program “Pomoshnik”.
In Russian, the word “Pomoshnik” means “Helper” or “Buddy”. The aim of the program is to provide isolated seniors with regular communication and support. For example, news and information exchange via the telephone or in person can help keep them happy and avoid social isolation. Our plan is to offer volunteers continual and ongoing support and in this help them join a network of “Pomoshniks”.

6.     Maslenitsa Festival on Federation Square

RERC is proud to report that this year’s Pancake Festival (held on the 2nd March) was the biggest and the best. Feedback from everyone involved was overwhelming. The public voted with their feet and the official Federation Square attendance this year was a huge 47,100 people. More than 300 performers entertained us on the day. More than 100 volunteers were involved in organizing and running the event. Thank you to everyone! Bring on Maslenitsa 2014… Join us!!!

STOP PRESS! We can confirm that the Maslenitsa 2014 will definitely go ahead. The Victorian government has seen our efforts and good success, judged that the public are interested in such a Festival and therefore has once again provided seed funding to help with the organization of such a massive event. Start thinking about how to make next year’s Pancake Festival bigger and better. Of course, it is never too early to put your hand up and become a donor or sponsor, as well.

 

 

7.     Russian Film Festival,  03 July - 16 July

 

Russian Resurrection is celebrating its tenth anniversary. For ten years we have been growing and expanding Russian cinema and culture Australia-wide to become one of the oldest, largest and most respected Russian film festivals outside of Russia. Every year our audiences are growing. No longer are only Russian speakers coming to see the broad range of films but new audiences are evolving. The Russian film industry far from contracting has continued to expand with more films and a growing domestic audience. This has made our job selecting films all the more difficult, but hopefully that means our audience will be deeply satisfied. So in 2013 feast your eyes on…

The best of the Russian box office successes (Legend No. 17, SoulLess, The Snow Queen), some hilarious comedies (Love with an Accent, Short Stories, Artefact and Gentlemen of Fortune) moving dramas (The Conductor, I Will Be Near), documentary (Anton’s Right Here), psychological thrillers (The Iron Butterfly and For Marx) as well as Russia’s first disaster movie Metro. Continuing the strong relationship that the Russian Resurrection Film Festival enjoys with the Russian film industry, this year we boast two world premieres, Marathon and The Geographer screening in Australia prior to their Russian release. And that is only a sneak peak of the new films screening in the program this year.

In keeping with tradition, retrospectives will also make up the program for 2013, only this year, we feature two retrospectives. The first is our tribute to renowned director Valery Todorovsky. We will showcase most of the catalogue of films that Valery made for the big screen, including festival force-de-majors The Lover and My Stepbrother Frankenstein, the brilliant and colourful Hipsters, as well as sentimental favorites Under Moscow Nights and The Land of the Deaf. Our second retrospective is titled Comedies from our Childhood. Thanks to Mosfilm we have selected four of the finest Soviet comedies that will remind audiences as to what made the Soviet Union laugh.

A special thanks to all our sponsors who continue to support this unique and memorable event. Thanks also to Palace Cinemas and Event Cinemas for putting to the big screen Russian cinematic gems. And ten years would not have been possible without the support of John Cole and Greg Dolgopolov. Thank you gentlemen!

Russian Resurrection – experience the best of new and classic Russian Cinema. Let the Resurrection Continue!

8.     Lisa Sewards Exhibition “White Parachute”, 13 July

White Parachute is a body of work by Lisa Sewards, capturing a childhood memory of her mother’s experience in wartime Russia.  It reveals the human impulse to create order and beauty in the face of displacement and the chaos of war.

As a young child Lisa’s mother lived in a displaced persons camp in Northern Germany and recalls the time when she and her own mother found an abandoned white silk parachute in the neighbouring woods. From this parachute they made clothing and little white silk ribbons for her mother’s hair; her symbols of comfort and hope.

This beautiful story will be told through works on paper, paintings and an installation of a rare WWII white silk parachute canopy which breathes soul and history into this exhibition.

Last Days!

Thurs 11am to 5pm

Sat 12pm to 4pm

Artist talk & Russian High Tea will be held on Saturday July 13, 2pm.
