Film program
The main competition program features debut films by directors from Russia and other countries, including Iran, India, Brazil, Kyrgyzstan, and Kazakhstan. The theme of the festival is “The Special Language of National Cinema”. The opening film will be “The Abnormal” directed by Ilya Malanin, inspired by a true story. It tells the story of a boy trying to overcome a congenital disease by learning to play the piano. The festival will close with Oksana Degtyareva’s film “She’s Dancing”: its heroine Olga is not just interested in dancing - it’s her way of communicating with the world and people.
