The cinema portal FILM.ru has launched its updated Personal Dashboard—a dedicated space for those who want to go beyond simply watching movies to thoughtfully documenting their impressions, analyzing their viewing habits, and sharing their unique perspectives with a wider audience.
The Personal Dashboard seamlessly integrates a cinema diary, personalized analytics tools, and social networking features. This allows users to curate their own cinematic journey while becoming part of an active community of cinephiles—people who value the art of discussing, debating, and connecting over film.
“Across the globe, the practice of logging one’s movie-watching journey—saving ratings, recording impressions, and revisiting them over time—is becoming increasingly popular. Platforms like Letterboxd have shown that viewers deeply value seeing their personal history with cinema mapped out. We wanted to offer FILM.ru users that same opportunity within a familiar environment, backed by a passionate community,” notes FILM.ru publisher Vladislav Potekhin.
