! We select films from all countries of the world, including Ukraine! Art is stronger than politics! Last year we had two official selections from Ukraine!
The International Film Festival «Catharsis» will be held from 3 to 12 December at more than 15 venues (cultural centers, film clubs and libraries) in several Russian cities: Moscow, St. Petersburg, Ekaterinburg, Penza, Vladimir, Novosibirsk, Pskov, Vladivostok and others.
The festival contributes to the strength of morality in the audience. The tasks of the film festivals are also to support of the cinematographers and the popularization of cinematography in the regions.
Every film, videoclip or public service announcement that is chosen will be shown at several venues. 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» and other films by the «Catharsis» film company. Part of the funds will cover organizational expenses and some money will be sent to charitable funds for sick children.
