History
editFilm.ru was created in 1999 by Sergei Aksyonov (born 6 September 1975) who also created the websites Arthouse.ru and Video Guide.[4] The website was managed by Film LLC until 2006, when the website was acquired by Entertime.[5] In 2007, Anton Kostylev was appointed editor-in-chief of Film.ru.[1] During this time, the web traffic for the website tripled.[2]
In 2013, Boris Khokhlov, former editor-in-chief of Total DVD and Russian Empire, became the editor-in-chief of Film.ru, after which the site had an independent editorial board.[6] The site also began regular publications of articles and film reviews. Since July 2018, Ekaterina Karslidi, who previously worked on the Russian film website Cinemaholics, has been the editor-in-chief.
