The International Film Festival "Catharsis" will be held for two weeks at more than 20 venues (cultural centers, film clubs and libraries) in several Russian cities: Moscow, St. Petersburg, Ekaterinburg, Penza, Vladimir, Novosibirsk, Pskov, Vladivostok and others.
The tagline of the festival: “Film production with meaning!”
Every film, videoclip or public service announcement that is chosen will be shown at several venues. The best poster will be chosen by the audience using online voting. The festival accepts films of any genre. There will be separate programs for films on human rights, films for children and screenings, films for up to 120 seconds. We also accept Music Videos, public service announcements, and posters.
The Festival is in place to raise funds for the feature film "The Power of Goodness" by the "Catharsis" film company. Most of the proceeds from the festival will go to the production of the film "The Power of Good". Part of the funds will cover organizational expenses and some money will be sent to charitable funds for sick children.
