Greetings from Festival

It’s not so easy to see the reality in itself as it actually seems. Reality is diverse and variform, it has as many perceptions as there are people with a penetrating and reflective outlook.
When transformed into a film, these outlooks are experienced by the spectator as their own life. Assembled into a single bouquet on a festival stage, they urge us to experience and understand objective reality as а whole, in its, sometimes contradictory, diversity.
We welcome all the participants of our festival – filmmakers, who help people see the world and themselves through the mirror of the cinema screen.
We are most hopeful that our festival will help us take at least a tiny step closer to mutual understanding, creative cooperation and integration into a unified alliance and fellowship of filmmakers who make “the cinema of reality”.
