The Central Partnership film “The Ghost” has been selected for the Toronto International Film Festival.

We are pleased to announce that “The Ghost” will participate in the official competition program of the festival, which runs September 4-13.

The Toronto International Film Festival was founded in 1975. “The Ghost” is the first Russian film to be selected for competition for several years.

International vice-president of Central Partnership Armen Dishdishyan commented on this exciting event:

“The Toronto festival is a gateway for European films to enter the American market. That’s why the presence of Russian films at the festival bodes well for the Russian film industry as a whole. I’m sure that Russian commercial cinema can hold just as much appeal for foreign viewers as our art-house products.”

“The Ghost”

Director: Karen Oganesyan
