First an artist, then a reality TV producer, he becomes the spin doctor to a rising KGB agent: Vladimir Putin.

Russia, early 1990s. Amid post-Soviet chaos, a brilliant young man, Vadim Baranov, charts his path. At the heart of power, Baranov shapes the new Russia, blurring the boundaries between truth and lies, belief and manipulation. Only the magnetic Ksenia is beyond his control, tempting him away from this dangerous game.

Years later, after retreating into silence and shrouded in mystery, Baranov finally opens up, revealing the dark secrets of the regime he helped build.

Based on the bestselling novel of the same name, the film is directed by Olivier Assayas (Personal Shopper, Clouds of Sils Maria), and written by Assayas, Emmanuel Carrère (Between Two Worlds) and Giuliano Da Empoli. Starring two-time Oscar-nominated Jude Law (The Talented Mr Ripley), Paul Dano (Little Miss Sunshine), Alicia Vikander (The Danish Girl), Jeffrey Wright (American Fiction) and Tom Sturridge (The Sandman). Produced by Olivier Delbosc (The Fence, The Quiet Son) and Sidonie Dumas (Only God Forgives, Les Orphelins).

ART31

ART31 takes its name from Article 31 of the UN Convention on the Rights of a Child, which states that ‘Children have the right to relax and play, and to join in a wide range of cultural, artistic and other recreational activities’.

ART31 is a vision created with, by, and for young people in Kent, championing the belief that all children and young people have an entitlement to access high quality arts and culture, to empower them to achieve their creative potential, and to genuinely engage young people as equal partners in any decision making that affects them.

The ART31 Youth Board is made up of young people from across Kent aged 13-25 who steer its governance, and influence policy and practice across the county and beyond, challenging the creative sector to examine existing ways of working and integrate young people into the core of their practice.
