PUTIN’S KISS + Q&A with filmmaker Lise Birk Pedersen

Sunday 25 March 20.00, ICA (UK premiere)

Monday 26 March 18.40, Curzon Soho

Meet Masha, a 19-year-old who grew up in Russia under Putin, on her journey through the Nashi youth movement.  This coming-of-age tale focuses on Masha’s personal political struggle, painting a grim picture of the Russian political climate. When Masha comes into direct contact with members of the opposition she begins to question Nashi, leading to a shocking event that pushes Masha to make her choice in the end.
