Emir Kusturica and The No Smoking Orchestra will perform "Barvikha Luxury Village” at the Moscow Conference.
Many famous actors and directors dreamed of being rock stars in their childhood, and when they reached their career heights in their main professions, they began to realize their dream with all their might to produce records and concerts.
In his youth, the great director Emir Kusturica played the guitar in a rock band and wanted to become a star. Now his dream has come true – he is the group’s leader, which, thanks to him, is touring the world’s gathering halls.
Audiences love them for their Balkan entourage, and their sprightly and cheerful anarchy prevailing on stage. There is everything, just like in Kusturica’s films.

AdEaters night, a night marathon showing of last year’s best commercials will be held in the October Grand Concert Hall in St. Petersburg. The event is an apotheosis of advertising as a form of art, the only day in the year when advertisers can feel like free artists, who create for art lovers as opposed to customers.
This project came to Russia from France and has been a success. AdEaters nights have been held here since 1994.
