The administration of the St. Petersburg film center "Rodina" shot the film "Winter Way" by Sergey Taramaev and Lyubov Lvova because of "Propaganda of homosexuality."

“This is a real movie - making invisible visible, with a powerful clash of opposites. This film touched my heart. - said about the “Winter Way” the Dutch director Yos Stelling. - The theme of homosexuality in the film did not play any role for me (even metaphysically). For me, this film is approaching the masterpiece exclusively thanks to its cinematic qualities. ”

This winter, the film was shown in the program "Russian Focus" of the International Film Festival in Gothenborg. The Moscow Premiere of the Winter Way was held on February 19 at the 35 mm cinema, the St. Petersburg premiere - February 20 at the Rodina movie center, and after the show, a meeting took place with the creative group of the film.
