The goal of the BOSFILM organization is to produce and
show films about the Russian immigration to America. Throughout the last several
decades, hundreds of thousands of Russian speaking peoples emigrated
from the Soviet Union, and later, from the newly formed independent countries of
the former USSR to America.
Many of these peoples lead a complex life prior to
emigration. They warred, suffered from anti-Semitism, Stalinism,
countrywide stupidity and endured many other hardships. At the same time,
Russian emigrants were raised with the great traditions of Russian culture and
are highly educated individuals. Russian immigration in America is the junction
of two cultures, two means of life. It is an alloy of Western civilization
and Russian culture.
The experiences of these people are of colossal
interest and importance to history. The language of cinematography, unlike any
another, is capable of immortalizing these people and their extraordinary fates.
