KinoReporter will hold an autograph session with the cast of the anthology "Black-and-White Cinema".

      On October 6 a unique autograph session will take place at the RESPUBLIKA* bookstore on 1st Tverskaya-Yamskaya Street with the stars featured in the collectible almanac issue “Black-and-White Cinema” of KinoReporter magazine and with its editor-in-chief and editorial director Maria Lemesheva.

      Readers will be able to speak personally with the stars whose portraits adorn the premium edition of the almanac and receive their autographs.

      Maria Lemesheva, the long-serving editor-in-chief and editorial director of KinoReporter magazine and the creative driving force behind the collectible almanac issue, talks about the upcoming meeting with fans of domestic cinema:

      “The second issue of the almanac ‘Black-and-White Cinema’ is not just a collection of photographs and interviews. It is a tribute to the aesthetics of black-and-white cinema with original color accents, an embodiment of our love for cinema and the art of photography. We have created a true work of art where each frame tells its own unique story. The upcoming autograph session is a unique opportunity for fans not only to purchase a coveted copy of our almanac, but also to meet their favorite actors in person, get their autographs, and immerse themselves in the atmosphere of cinematic art. We are confident that this event will become a real celebration for all cinema lovers!”

      Among the stars of domestic cinema participating in the event are Alla Sigalova, Fyodor Lavrov, Dmitry Dibrov and others.

      Guests at the autograph session will be able to purchase the collectible edition of the almanac “Black-and-White Cinema” at a special price with a 20% discount on the day of the event, which is timed to the release of the second issue of the almanac emphasizing the aesthetics of black-and-white cinema.
