Movie Synopsis:

In a densely forested area north of St. Petersburg, people have been going missing for three decades. Very few corpses were ever found, and the few that were recovered were naked. On October 14, 2017, a team of volunteers went out into the woods in search of a missing teenager. Soon, all communication with them was lost. Locals believe they were taken by the same dark spirit that took the others...

The Russian outfit is also launching sales on airborne thriller ‘Row 19’.

At the start of the Marché, Moscow-based sales and distribution outfit Central Partnership has announced further deals on Russian horror Baba Yaga, Terror Of The Dark Forest, which is produced by Alexander Rodnyansky and Sergei Melkumov alongside Ivan Kapitonov and Svyatoslav Podgaevsky.

Koch Media has taken Italian rights, Kinovista has acquired all French-speaking territories and Moviecloud has acquired the urban horror tale for Taiwan.

The film follows a young family who move to a new apartment on the outskirts of the city where they hire a sinister nanny to look after their young daughter.

Ledafilms has acquired all North American and Latin American rights to the Russian horror film “Baba Yaga: Terror of the Dark Forest,” whose producers include the Oscar-nominated producers of “Leviathan” and “Loveless,” and box office hit “Stalingrad.”

The movie is directed by Svyatoslav Podgaevsky, who directed horror pics “The Bride” and “Mermaid: Lake of the Dead.” Central Partnership is handling international sales.

Capelight Pictures has acquired all rights for Germany and German-speaking Europe for the movie while Garsu will release the film theatrically in the Baltic States. Purple Plan has picked up rights for Vietnam and Singapore, and the rest of Southeast Asia rights went to Suraya Filem.

Leto pays tribute to the early years of Russian rock. In a new clip from the film, a new take on Iggy Pop's "The Passenger" is presented, while cast members on a bus take turns singing the lines. There's subtle touches of animation and an awkward feeling that is tough to escape. Avant-garde Russian filmmaker Kirill Serebrennikov has truly crafted something original here and it needs to be seen to be completely understood.

Kirill Serebrennikov (The Student) returns to the big-screen with Leto, which is a tribute to the early years of Russian rock. The movie takes place in Leningrad, in the summer, during the early eighties. Smuggling LP's by Lou Reed and David Bowie, the underground rock scene is boiling ahead of the Perestroika. Mike and his beautiful wife Natasha meet with young Viktor Tsoi. Together with friends, they will change the trajectory of rock n' roll music in the Soviet Union.
