"Red Silk," a film co-produced by China and Russia, screened for a Chinese audience for the first time in Beijing on Thursday, two days before its nationwide China release.
As a major project produced in honor of the China-Russia Years of Culture of 2024 and 2025, the film tells the story of Chinese and USSR comrades fighting shoulder to shoulder on a hidden battlefront and jointly defending justice.
It premiered in Russia in February this year and set a box office record for films of its genre.
This year's Russian Film Festival is being held in Beijing, Xining in northwest China's Qinghai Province, and Lanzhou in northwest China's Gansu Province.
Running from Sept 1 to 12, the event features screenings of eight Russian films covering a wide range of themes and genres.
