A festival of contemporary and vintage cartoon films called Big Cartoon Festival opens Thursday at nine venues, including 35MM and Rolan cinemas and Aktovy Zal arts center. The screenings will feature student films, the latest in Russian and European animation and early Soviet films from 1910 to the 1930s. The scene of a telephone conversation comes from German director Stefan M_ller's "Mr. Schwarz, Mr. Hazen and Mr. Horlocker" while the street scene comes from Pierre-Luc Granjon's film "The White Wolf." Both films date from 2006. The festival runs to Nov. 11. See the festival's web site, www.multfest.ru, for details.

A Message from The Moscow Times:

Dear readers,

We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."

These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.

We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.

Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.

By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
