The 48th Moscow Film Festival has selected approximately 200 films from 43 countries.

Aficha Daily (Афиша Daily) asked 100 film critics to give their list of the 10 best Russian films released in cinemas, on streaming platforms or at festivals between 25 December 1991 and 1 August 2025. Aficha Daily then compiled a list of the 50 best Russian films of the period.
