Moskino Film Park has prepared an entertainment program for August 9 and 10. Kids and grown-ups will enjoy fairy-tale performances, participate in staged filming, and attend workshops. More details are below.
Performances, film shoots, and a quest
On weekends at 2:00 PM and 4:00 PM, the Gonzaga Theater will host a performance. The plot, based on Russian and Turkic fairy tales, follows two brothers—one happy and the other longing.
At the “Petersky Bar” venue, from 12:00 PM to 7:00 PM both days, visitors can enjoy theatrical performances inspired by a film. Guests will witness a scene from the movie and immerse themselves in the atmosphere of a 17th-century French tavern.
At the “Moscow Courtyard” from 12:00 PM to 7:00 PM, staged filming of a movie will take place. Participants will revisit the story of a lazy underachiever named Petya, who turns into an old man unable to count, and act out a scene from the film.
On Sunday, from 12:00 PM to 7:00 PM, in the “Moscow 1940s” set, guests will be invited to voice dialogues from a film based on Mikhail Bulgakov’s novella. Visitors will reenact the scene of the failed arrest of a professor following the disappearance of Sharikov.
At the same venue, from 12:00 PM to 7:00 PM, visitors can participate in a fairy-tale quest.
Admission to the events requires an entry ticket.
Games, postcard-making, and movie screenings
Throughout the weekend, the central square will host activities for children and adults. At 12:00 PM and 3:35 PM, guests can create origami from newspaper pages; at 1:10 PM and 4:45 PM, craft a film frame using cardboard cutouts; and at 2:20 PM and 5:55 PM, decorate a 3D postcard.
On the same grounds, young visitors can participate in games on Saturday and Sunday. Organizers will offer toy horse rides with obstacle courses, cup-stacking challenges, creating movie scenes, assembling fairy-tale character puzzles, and solving riddles.
Only an entry ticket is required for participation.
On August 9 and 10, the Moskino Film Park theater will screen new releases: the comedy “Ivan Semenov: First Kiss,” the animated film “Pinocchio,” and the movie “My Dad Is a Bear.” Tickets are available for purchase.
The Moskino Film Park program supports the goals of a national project in Moscow.
