The work is devoted to the formation of sociocultural and linguocultural competences of foreigners studying Russian as a foreign language (RFL) through work with modern feature films. We describe the linguodidactic potential of authentic video materials designed to work in the classroom in Russian as a foreign language; selection criteria are presented. We point out that mo-tion pictures are a valuable source of both linguistic and extralinguistic information. We conclude that it is advisable to use authentic full-length feature films in RFL lessons; the recommended lev-el of language proficiency is B1. We offer a methodological development for the Russian film “Moscow Romance” (2019). We substantiate the criteria for choosing this film, we have devel-oped a system of tasks, some of which can be completed during extracurricular hours. We pre-scribe such stages of work with the film as: “Pre-demonstration. Preparation for viewing”, “Dem-onstration. Understanding Test” and “Post-Demonstration. Discussion”, as well as offer the fourth stage “Continuing work outside the classroom”. This system of work has been tested by the au-thors of the work in three groups of different nationalities studying at Russian universities.
