Out-of-Competition Programs

Every year, the Spirit of Fire out-of-competition themed and retrospective screenings feature the most interesting new releases and little known but time honored classics from various countries. 

 The “Small-Numbered Peoples” program includes four films, some already acclaimed at other festivals, and some that are yet unknown to the audience. Russian viewers will get to see six special screenings of films from Russia and Kazakhstan. The retrospective program this year features Pyotr Chardynin.
