The Russian Consol: UK Premiere

6 Jul 2025

15:00 - 17:30

Experience the UK premiere of The Russian Consul, a gripping political drama directed by Miroslav Lekić.  

Set in 1973, the film follows Serbian psychiatrist Ilija Jugović, who is transferred to a hospital in Kosovo after a professional setback. There, he meets Ljubo Božović, a history professor who believes himself to be a 19th-century Russian consul. As ethnic tensions escalate, Jugović becomes entangled in a web of political and personal conflicts.  

Adapted from Vuk Drašković’s novel, this film offers a poignant exploration of identity, resistance, and the complexities of Balkan history.
