Russian punk rock protest group to preview latest film and take to the stage at Iffr.
International Film Festival Rotterdam (Jan 21 – Feb 1) is to host Russian political activists Pussy Riot next week.
Two members of the punk rock group, Nadya Tolokonikova and Masha Alyokhina, will talk to Iffr Late Night host Tom Barman about their ideals, action and future plans.
