The KARO cinema chain organizes the free screenings in Moscow, St. Petersburg, Novosibirsk and Krasnodar.
On March 12 and 13, in four cities of Russia the films that once debuted at the international festival «Spirit of Fire» will be available to watch for free. The KARO cinema chain will show six films, including both festival winners that have already become classics of Russian cinema, and new films that were discovered by the «Spirit of Fire» in the last few years.
Viewers will see the legendary «Bimmer» by Pyotr Buslov, which won the main prize of the festival in 2003, the film «The Italian» by Andrei Kravchuk, which received the Audience Award in 2006, «Niche» by Anton Ermolin and «Knots” by Oleg Khamokov, awarded with special prizes in 2023 .
Also they will show the films that participated in the Work-in-Progress program last year: «Octopus», which was selected for the Vyborg Film Festival and then was successfully launched on four online streaming services, and «Pravda», which was included in the competition of the short film festival and the debut film «In Short».
“When you watch a film together in a cinema hall, a shared empathy is born – a lot of emotions await you. It’s not the same at all as watching a movie at home in an armchair,” notes the President of the «Spirit of Fire» festival, the director Emir Kusturica.
This year, the film festival «Spirit of Fire» will be held from March 23 to 26 in Khanty-Mansiysk.
Admission to film shows will be free, with pre-registration: https://spirit-of-fire.timepad.ru/events/. Limited number of seats.
