Company news

In the spring of 2012, the Kondor film studio released a new film, "Lishniye" (The Odd Ones). Genre — crime drama. Although the film has almost no professional actors, it was well received by audiences. The rights to broadcast the film were acquired by several Russian television companies for a long term. Negotiations are currently underway for wide theatrical release in Russia and Belarus.

In the fall-winter of 2013, the film company's new movie "Katharsis" will be released. The film's action takes place in the North Caucasus. In 2013 the company is also busy filming a new feature film, "Happy Victory Day!" The film is dedicated to the 70th anniversary of the Great Victory. It stars well-known theater and film actors from Moscow, Nizhny Novgorod, and the USA. The action takes place in the present day and tells about the lives of veterans and young people's attitudes toward them. The mysterious and mystical story is, to some extent, a prequel to the film "Katharsis".
