The competition program "Gorky fest" has been announced in Nizhny Novgorod.

      In Nizhny Novgorod, from July 3 to July 10, the anniversary, tenth festival of new Russian cinema "Gorky fest" will take place. This year, the central theme of the film review will be time travel, and the symbol will be a time machine that will unite all the programs of the review and serve as a reason for conversation about the past, present, and future. This was announced at a TASS press conference held on June 24.

      The jury includes director Alexander Veledinsky, producer Sabina Yeremeyeva, cinematographer Ekaterina Smolina, composer Anton Silaev, and film journalist Ivan Kudryavtsev. They will evaluate 18 films selected from 550 applications. The competition program will open with Vladimir Kott's film "To the Village of Grandfather - 2" (6+).

      The competition for awards will unfold in traditional nominations, including "Best Film," "Best Director," and "Best Screenplay." The award for best acting will this year bear the name of Yevgeny Yevstigneyev. A viewer's choice award and a special prize of 1 million rubles from partners have also been established.

      Festival screenings will take place at cinema venues throughout the Nizhny Novgorod region. This geography allows the organizers to attract the maximum number of viewers from different cities and districts of the region to the event. Admission to all events is free, but prior registration is required to attend the screenings.

      In addition to the competitive screenings, guests can expect an educational program at the "Mayak" academy, non-competitive screenings, including the "Bitter Ten" selection, a retrospective of films featuring Yevstigneyev, and the "Voice of Gorky" project.
