Director Margy Kinmonth writes:

I was honoured to be invited by Ambassador Sir Laurie and Lady Bristow, to switch on the Christmas Lights in the British Embassy Moscow, and screen my feature documentary films, both Russian and British work, in an amazing evening at the residence. This was such a fabulous treat, thank you so much, here are some highlights:
