Our new Consul General invited the Consulate to accompany him on a tour of Lenfilm back in December. Lenfilm, for those who don't know (I didn't) is a film studio in Petersburg that was basically Russian Hollywood. Every important movie was filmed there, and even actresses such as Elizabeth Taylor and Jane Fonda came through a few times. The studio only shoots about one movie a year itself, but its space, sets, props etc are used continually by other studios.
Terry can probably add more but I'll just finish with a few photos of the place.
The set of Sherlock Holmes (his study of course)
Original old films and some of the stars showcased in them (photos above)
Props, for when you need just the right old typewriter
