Kostroma cinematic

The tour begins in the historical center of the city, not far from the place where the first Kostroma cinema, the Modern Theater, stood.
Why do filmmakers love Kostroma so much?
The directors themselves in interviews say that they come here for historical nature. After all, Kostroma is so rich in architectural monuments of different eras and styles that you can shoot everything and about everything: from the time of the Tatar-Mongol invasion to the present day: a debarcader, where “Cruel Romance” was filmed, as well as Ostrovsky’s gazebo, from which the hero of N.S. Mikhalkov Paratov rode on a white horse to the pier, Trading rows where “Two Captains”, “Demons”, “Black Eyes” and others were filmed.

Ostrovsky Theater and Mira Avenue, familiar from the films "Kotovsky", "Doctor Zhivago". Ipatiev Monastery, where the shooting of “Boris Godunov” “Chinese service”, “Youth of Peter” took place ...

Eldar Ryazanov, Nikita Mikhalkov, Sergey Gerasimov were inspired and created their masterpieces here! Over the hundred-year history of “cinema” in Kostroma, more than a hundred films were filmed on local nature.
During the tour you will learn: What attracts directors here? What cities did Kostroma turn into on the screen? What dangers awaited the actors on the set? and much, much, more...

I invite you to take a walk through the “film sets” of Kostroma!
