All films winners will receive awards.

Our second goal.

To enable our viewers to see a large number of interesting films from all over the world. As viewers will be able to participate in the award-winning.

Another good news is that we organize online movie viewing parties "White Nights Film Festival." As for the outcome of voting and number of views, will be the winners.
We are waiting for our festival.
