They used to say for many years countries like Russia despite saying they where a very "opened" state, peoples from minorities as well religious and sexuality would have never have happened. Roll on to 21 st century the Russian movie industry has now really opened up covering areas never even dreamed been filmed until now; Prostitution, hippies, drug addicts, skinheads and now homosexuality.
Below is the trailer for Veselchaki (Весельчаки) or in English Jolly Fellows. The movie covers the difficulties of been gay in Russia, it is an comedy but does have a big drama element to it as well. It covers the emotions and killling of one of the "girls" (the main characters are all drag queens as well) by homophobes.
Still a long way to go but a big thumbs up from Cinehouse to Russian movie industry its time to move on and enjoy life and of course movies!!!
