Continuing to tell about the program of the 33rd International Film Festival "Message to Man"

We have already started telling about the history of the festival and the program for 2023. Today we will tell you more about the International Competition.

Finally, we wanted the International Competition, despite everything, to be truly international, because we believe in the international of art beyond the politics that polarizes people. In the halls and screenings of the International Competition, Europe will meet Russia, both Americas, Asia, the Middle East and Africa. That is how it should be.”
