The American Center in Moscow’s Business Movie & Discussion Club is more than just a movie-watching group. It’s a vibrant community where like-minded individuals gather to explore the world of business through cinema. Each session, we will select a film that provides a unique perspective on various aspects of business, entrepreneurship, leadership, and the challenges of the corporate world. It’s the perfect blend of entertainment and education.

This session offers:

• A Film Screening: From 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM MSK, immerse yourself in "The Intern", whether you’re experiencing its charm for the first time or revisiting its memorable moments.

• A Discussion: At 8:00 PM MSK, we invite you to a discussion to explore the themes of the film. This is a fantastic opportunity for those who have just watched the movie with us or anyone who is already familiar with it and wants to dive deeper into its messages about mentorship, the workplace, and personal development.
