White Nights Film Festival (Russia)

"White Nights Film Festival"
is now accepting applications for a fourth season.
Waiting for your movies.

Mission
In a world of huge amount of festivals held annually.
But in Russia, they are very few. "White Nights Film Festival" in St. Petersburg is designed for what would be at least as something to correct this situation.

We decided to give the opportunity to filmmakers from around the world to show their work at our festival. Special attention will be paid to students' works which provides significant discounts.

As our festival will be presented almost all film genres.

"White Nights Film Festival" will be held annually in April.

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.

All of us on the production team were thrilled that Downsizing of the Gods was accepted into White NIghts Film Festival.
We would have loved to have been in attendance, but all us had prior commitments.
Sending all prayers that you and yours escape the pandemic unscathed.

Response from festival:

Dear Kelly ,
We always respond to all emails. All participants received diplomas and laurels of the official selection. When the festival is held, there will also be winners. Good luck.

White Nights Film Festival checks all of the boxes for what a film festival should be. I was unaware of it until seeing the discount. Value is always a winner for me. Communication is also vital for me. The festival was extraordinarily punctual on notification. During this difficult time WNFF is doing a great job of recognizing filmmakers and screenwriters. Russia has a tradition of film-making which is celebrated by WNFF. Thank you for recognizing my action-zombie screenplay, "The Musketeers and The Zombies" as an Official Selection.

Robert thank you for your kind words.
Max Highsmith

The Festival was rescheduled due to the COVID-19 Pandemic BUT I was excited about my official selection. This selection solidified my voice and that of my Writing Partner. We are so excited for the future of this SAGA and we love our Women's bathroom scene (page 4 & 5) even more. Do you know how close we are to seeing this particular scene on screen. We are at a nano-second of a nano-breath AND WE'RE ALRIGHT WITH THAT. #MeetYouOnTheRedCarpet
