Over the course of its existence your project has gained the glory of forum of «the humane cinema», having become an expected event in the world of arts, and became widely known in Russia and throughout the world. Cinematographers and spectators from different countries tend to come to Kazan in order to see original projects, exchange their experience, join the large-scale festival movement.
