		</div><p>The 44th Moscow International Film Festival opened on Friday with reduced foreign representation amid the Russia-Ukraine conflict.</p>
<p>Festival head Nikita Mikhalkov, the Academy Award-winning director of Burnt By The Sun, brushed that off, saying: “It makes no difference how big are the stars that come.</p>
<p>“I’m interested in people who come, because they are interested in meeting us.”</p>
<p>Mikhalkov also praised Russia’s military operation in Ukraine.</p>
<p>“These days, the heroes are in Donbas,” he said, referring to eastern Ukraine’s industrial heartland, two regions that Russia recognised as sovereign this year after Russia-backed separatists began fighting the Ukrainian government there in 2014.</p>
<p>“That is where the new elite and the new heroes are being born.</p>
<p>“Actually, a new world and a new society are being born there. The problem is that unfortunately not everybody understands that this is serious and it’s here to stay,” he said.</p>
<p>The festival opened with the premiere of a widely anticipated Russian historical epic, Land Of Legends, directed by Anton Megerdichev.</p>
