Event overview
CPS 2027 returns to Moscow's AMEDIA film studio on 25–27 March for the 23rd edition of Russia's dedicated exhibition for film, photo and media production. Two pavilions bring together more than 80 brands showing cameras, lenses, lighting, sound, grip, post-production software and virtual production tools, alongside a business programme with more than 100 speakers.
Producers, cinematographers, editors, studio owners and content teams use the show to compare equipment in working conditions, book supplier meetings and join practical workshops. Registration covers all three days and includes open programme sessions, with the official opening on 25 March at 13:00.
TL;DR
See and handle the cameras, lenses, lighting, sound and post tools that will shape 2027 productions, compare suppliers side by side, and use the open programme to sharpen craft and production planning. The multi-day badge makes it practical to return for supplier meetings and sessions.
CPS puts Russian and international equipment sellers in front of producers, cinematographers, studio technical directors and post houses who are actively specifying 2027 purchases. A Moscow show of this size delivers concentrated buyer conversations, hands-on demos and regional film-commission contacts without a national roadshow.

Edition recap
CPS 2026, the 22nd edition, ran on 26–28 March 2026 at the AMEDIA film studio in Moscow. Calendar records list 100 participants and 3,500 visitors, with more than 80 brands in two pavilions and a programme built around three conferences, technical tours and practical workshops.
Impact
CPS matters to Moscow's production market because it concentrates camera, lighting, sound and post suppliers inside a working studio campus. Buyers can compare systems in near-set conditions and meet integrators who support Russian installations, which shortens specification work for spring and summer shoots.
Audience quality
The audience is narrow but senior: producers, cinematographers, technical directors, editors and studio owners who specify equipment. The show is small enough for exhibitors to hold substantive conversations, and the multi-day badge lets buyers return for scheduled supplier meetings. Expect regional film commissions and film schools alongside commercial production teams.
Exhibitor outcomes
ROI depends on demo quality rather than raw footfall. With about 80 brands and 3,500 visitors across three days, a stand needs a booked meeting list and a hands-on demo to convert. Distributors selling cameras, lighting, sound and post workflows are the closest fit; service and education exhibitors should treat the show as relationship building.
Intelligence
Key market insights, trends, news and related events to help you understand the bigger picture.
Why it matters
Moscow remains the centre of Russian film, television and advertising production, and CPS is the March meeting point for the equipment and service supply chain. For buyers, the value is a compact, studio-based comparison of cameras, lighting, sound and post tools at a moment when 2027 production budgets and facility upgrades are being set.
Key trends shaping this market and its wider industry.
Virtual production moves from pilot to workflow
LED volumes, real-time engines and tracking are being folded into everyday Russian production, and buyers want to see how camera, lighting and post choices connect rather than buying isolated boxes.
What it changes: Exhibitors that can demonstrate an integrated virtual-production chain will stand out from single-product sellers.
Parallel imports reshape equipment choice
Studios continue to source cameras, lenses and lighting through parallel-import channels, which makes warranty, service and software support as important as the specification sheet.
What it changes: Buyers will spend time on support terms and spare-parts availability, not only show-floor price.
Short-form and regional production budgets grow
Advertising, streaming and regional film commissions are commissioning more short-form and location work, pushing demand for compact rigs, efficient lighting and mobile post workflows.
What it changes: Smaller producers and regional studios are a growing buyer segment alongside Moscow's established facilities.
CPS anchors the Moscow spring calendar. Buyers comparing global launches usually pair it with NAB in Las Vegas, IBC in Amsterdam and the autumn content market in Cannes.
