Legitimacy ScoreOverview
Bomba Video Club is a monthly screening series in Moscow, held at an artist-run gallery in an ex-Soviet bomb shelter. It is notable for its unconventional setting and curatorial focus on very short films that have not been shown at mainstream festivals, making it a niche platform for underground and experimental work in the local and international festival circuit.
