As usual, we wish for authors of high-quality films can present their films and get feedback, communicate with the audience and other artists. Even cinema enthusiasts and volunteers host our gust. For this purpose, the festival arranges such a non-competitive, democratic and rock-n-roll section as the “Unfiltered Cinema” every year. In spite of all the challenges, we decided to give any possibility of physical participation. We’ve reserved time in the festival schedule for this. The total length of the films is 127 minutes. The full list of films can be found here.

Algorithm
Karina Giulbasarova (Russian Federation, 11 min)

One night he’s running late to meet his girlfriend, Masha, because of his sloppiness, and as he finally approaches, she gets hit by a car right in front of him. Dima will relive this evening over and over in an attempt to understand: was there a chance to save her?
I’m the king
Vladimir Rozin (Russian Federation, 16 min)
Egor Potashinsky, an elderly actor who played King Lear for many years, was dismissed from the theater by a new art director.
