"We'll never forgive them again." Samuel Goldwyn Films has debuted an official trailer for the true story World War II survival thriller Sobibor, about the revolt and escape at the concentration camp known as Sobibór in Poland. The story goes that, after only three weeks imprisoned at this Nazi death camp in Poland in 1943, Soviet Officer Alexander Pechersky organized a mass revolt and prison break, successfully escaping and helping many of the other prisoners escape as well.

Russian culture secretary calls collaboration “frozen” as industries strive to continue cross-border production.

The ongoing political tension between Russia and Ukraine was not forgotten during this week’s Moscow International Film Festival (Miff), which ends tomorrow (Friday).

At a meeting with representatives of two new Russian films Battle for Sevastopol and The Territory, Russian Minister of Culture Vladimir Medinsky described collaboration between the Russian and Ukrainian film industries as currently being ¨frozen¨.

Signs of the instability were evident in the nationalities of some titles at the festival, including Sergey Mokritskiy’s Russian box office success Battle for Sevastopol [$8m (Rub 435m) since April 2], which had initially been made as a Russian-Ukrainian co-production.

The International Competition included world premieres of Alexander Mindadze’s Russian-uk-German co-production My Good Hans, which was largely shot on location in Ukraine’s Nikopol and had originally had a Ukrainian co-producer on board.

Other films to have shot in Ukraine and screen at the festival included Andrey Proshkin’s Orleans...

While this has been set for international release soon, we haven't posted a trailer for it before.
