Having twice been postponed, talks have restarted on the hosting of the Sochi International Film Festival and Awards UK to be held here in Cheltenham in February 2022. With the delightful Chapel Arts Centre being proposed as a venue for film screenings, concerts and an exhibition of Russian art, a meeting was recently held there with members of Cheltenham Twinning Association, the founder of the UK Sochi Film Awards and the Press and Cultural Secretary from the Russian Embassy. It is hoped to have a 4 week programme of Russian themed events leading up to the Gala Awards evening on 12 February 2022.
