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.
