I INTERNATIONAL
KANSK VIDEO FESTIVAL
KANSK VIDEO FESTIVAL
First and unique video festival in Russia will take place in the town of Kansk (Krasnoyarsk region). It will showcase for the jury and audience the international short films program (up to 60 min), compiled from the applications received from 37countries of the world and 11 Russian cities. During two festival days, Kansk citizens and guests will be able to watch 60 films of the Competition program, as well as around 70 films, included in the special program which presents a gold collection of festival video from Europe.
40 guests from Moscow, Sofia, London, Berlin, Novosibirsk, Krasnoyarsk, Kyiv and other cities will come to Kansk to participate
in the Kansk Festival's program.
in the Kansk Festival's program.
The ideologists of the new festival intentionally skipped the main art 'highways', large cities and acknowledged cultural capitals of Russia; organising the festival in a remote Siberian city Kansk (100 000 inhabitants) intentionally keeping a long distance of favourite film festival spots (shores of Black Sea, Mediterranean Sea, etc). Moreover, the festival guest should travel 4000 km by train to participate in the festival events.
The Festival organisers wish to underline the distance which separates a 'big movies' from videos — one can produce them fast, they are a democratic and experimental by the core media with special mobile stylistics close to a documentary filmmaking.
However, the almost accomplished video genres - from traditional video art to experimental video, from documental to animation video - not allow to give a comprehensive definition to videomaking.

Video may be considered as 'not enough a cinema' or 'not a cinema', but for identifying something you need to watch it at least once. And this opportunity is offered to all Kansk citizens. Moscovites can watch the program straight after in the DOM Cultural Centre in October 2022. The competition program of the Kansk Video Festival is open for everybody: for professionals and amateurs. There weren't any restrictions for age, so you can see in the Competition some videos created by children, and the most young author is only 5 years old.
And the last thing... The Kansk Festival is the only direct opposition to a French analogue. South of France vs Siberia, big movies vs low-budget videos, Palm D'Or vs Palm Secateur D'Or... And moreover, this is the first and unique video festival in Russia.
