Legends from the Past

Legends from the Past (2025) is a Russian family fantasy to watch online on iFILM, directed by Ivan Sosnin and starring Aleksandr Yatsenko. Rated 12+, runtime 94 minutes.

A reporter from Yekaterinburg heads deep into a taiga village on assignment and comes back changed: the ancient spirit of the forest starts appearing to him, asking him to protect a group of vanishing mythical creatures before they disappear entirely. He returns to the wilderness — this time with his twelve-year-old daughter visiting from Moscow — and what was meant to be a quick mission turns into an unexpected adventure for both of them. Yuri Kolokolnikov and Maryana Spivak round out the cast.

The film earns its family rating with genuine wonder rather than scares, and draws from Ural-Siberian folklore that rarely makes it to screen in this form. Stream Legends from the Past (2025) on iFILM.
