All the movies have drawn wide attention from both film critics and audiences and most have won awards at international film festivals. They also offer an insight into the development of Mosfilm, which released its first film, "Up on Wings," in January, 1924. The leading company in Russia's film industry has produced many acclaimed works over the past century.
