OUR FESTIVAL OUT OF POLITICS

It connects people, their kind hearts and creativity. The first festival was held in 2018 in Moscow, Russia, 2019 - in the capital of Belarus, Minsk, March 2021 - in Moscow and Podolsk.

FESTIVAL ORGANIZER

The festival is organized by the Vyatkin Publishing House. We publish books in author's gift and leather hand-made bindings, make documentaries, short-length films and presentation videos. The publishing house is a permanent member of international and Russian exhibitions, festivals and forums. The publishing house also participates in organizing charity events, psychological and thematic seminars, meetings with authors, film directors and actors.

BASIC PRINCIPLES OF THE FESTIVAL

Our festival selects films based on the principle of dueling, as in sports. The films must pass through several stages: the official selection, the semi-final and the final. The final takes place in the form of a battle-duel, which is evaluated right in the hall by the filmmakers, the audience and the press.

The aim of the festival is to encourage young filmmakers to make new films, to appreciate their creativity and to introduce filmmakers to the culture and life of the world. We accept films of all genres from all over the world and give new filmmakers the opportunity to evaluate their films and compete with other famous filmmakers. These are films made from the heart and for people of all genres who deny aggression and war.

Each film that passes the official selection will receive laurels. And at the end of the festival, of course, a buffet and a photo shoot.

This year there are a lot of good and very necessary films. Therefore, our updated team decided to introduce several more selection criteria. From the films of the official selection of each month, the nominees for awards and prizes will be selected. All of them will receive corresponding diplomas and will qualify for further participation not only for the main prize, but also for prizes of additional categories and prizes of sponsors.

Stage 1 official selection monthly. These films participate in the further struggle for the main prize. Any film from the official selection can be recommended for screening in the cinema. All who entered the official selection will receive the corresponding laurels-the official selection of the month.

Stage 2 semi-final. 4 participants will be selected in each category at the end of the year. Any of them claims not only for the main prize, but also for other incentive prizes from sponsors.

Stage 3 final. In each category there are only two participants who will compete for the main prize in the final. These films will be shown on the main screen of the Festival.Each pair will be appreciated by the teams of filmmakers, the press and the audience (1 vote per team), who always have different opinions. Each of them, as well as in the ring, surrounded by spectators and participants, will raise the plate with the number of the winner. Will their opinions coincide? You'll see.

It will be a real movie fight, where the best masters of cinema, spectators and judges will gather.

To be among the winners, you must submit your movies in HD to the platform Festhome with subtitles in English or Russian. All films selected for live screenings in the cinema (as we will inform you in advance) must be presented in HD format with subtitles in Russian or English. Payment for the screening of the film within the festival is not provided for the authors.

Registration fee for participation is not refundable, it covers technical and organizational activities for participants.

After you submit your film, you agree that we may use your data and movie data on social networks and the press to promote the festival and announce the film as part of the festival program (Poster, trailer, teaser, synopsis, press kit, photo Director, etc.).
