ONLINE THEATER screenings will be held at the RUSDOCFILMFEST online platform during the festival week. The online program will be organized according to Eastern Daylight Time. Tickets for the ONLINE THEATER are available through the website (www.rusdocfilmfest.org). All films will be in their original language with English subtitles.
The films will be shown in a closed format: a one-time password will be provided with each ticket purchase which will allow one view of the film in the Online Theater (on the festival website) according to the program schedule. This will mimic the real-life theater-going experience but will be conducted online.
