Russia and Thailand. Investing in a Common Future
BANKS, FUNDS, STATE Against the backdrop of a 10% increase in trade turnover in 2024 and a more than 40% growth in Russian exports to Thailand in the first half of 2025, the key question remains the establishment of long-term trust and mutual interest. Beyond traditional goods (petroleum products, metals, fertilizers), the role of complex investment projects in the high-tech sector is growing. This diversification signals a normalization of the investment climate. Can the Russian-Thai partnership model become a blueprint for a new architecture of international investments in a fragmented global economy, and can bilateral platforms replace global financial centers as the main drivers of international capital? |

Key discussion questions: Are investments in digital sovereignty a strategic asset or an expensive insurance policy? Who is responsible for digital sovereignty - the state or business? How can digital sovereignty help reduce risks while opening new market opportunities? What approaches are being implemented in Russia and Thailand and where is synergy possible?

Mediators of Reality: A Developer and an Artist in Dialogue
Panel discussion CINEMA // CULTURE, MUSIC, ART The modern city is a tension point between nature and industry, memory and the future. Developers become architects of human relationships with the environment, bearing new responsibilities. The cultural landscape is heterogeneous—a layering of strata where micro- and macro-scales merge into a unified perceptual relief. The artist creates a cartography of desires and narratives, an architecture of thought. Coexistence practices within a shared cultural and industrial paradigm give rise to a new geography—landscape as a way of thinking about the world, where every trace forms a new space. |

Production of the story “Maya in Binary Code”
CINEMA // CULTURE, MUSIC, ART Staged Reading of Alexander Tsypkin’s story. A Love Story in the Digital Desert. What if your only kindred spirit is an algorithm? Denis, a brilliant developer, falls in love with the mysterious Maya — an interlocutor who knows everything about him. Their correspondence begins with philosophical jokes but turns into a game where every message is a step past the point of no return. In a world where the boundaries between human and machine are blurring, a love story is born — one that challenges our conventional understanding of emotions and artificial intelligence. |

Creative economy of Russia and Thailand
Track opening session CINEMA // CULTURE, MUSIC, ART The creative sectors in Russia and Thailand account for 4% and 6% of GDP in 2024, respectively, and are expected to increase by 1.5-2 times by 2030. The session will cover government measures to develop the creative economy (tax incentives and benefits), a shift in focus to "soft power," cultural exports (film, music, video games, design), the development of creative professions and education, and an example of successful cooperation between Russia and Thailand, as exemplified by the reality show "Treasure Island." |

Mediators of Reality: A Developer and an Artist in Dialogue
Panel discussion CINEMA // CULTURE, MUSIC, ART The modern city is a tension point between nature and industry, memory and the future. Developers become architects of human relationships with the environment, bearing new responsibilities. The cultural landscape is heterogeneous—a layering of strata where micro- and macro-scales merge into a unified perceptual relief. The artist creates a cartography of desires and narratives, an architecture of thought. Coexistence practices within a shared cultural and industrial paradigm give rise to a new geography—landscape as a way of thinking about the world, where every trace forms a new space. |
