On behalf of the Organizing Committee of the "Hero and Time" International Film Festival we regret to inform you that the event has been postponed and will take place in 2021.
All films submitted in 2020 will be considered for the next festival in 2021!
Faced with the situation linked to the coronavirus pandemic, the Administration of the Stavropol Region with tremendous disappointment decided to cancel all public events on the territory scheduled for 2020.
The rationale behind this decision and the international situation compel us to act with lucidity and responsibility. We all perfectly understand that this forced measure is necessary to preserve the health and lives of Russian citizens and of our guests from different countries. We intend to show our respect and our deep gratitude to the health care providers, as well as to all those who choose solidarity and the public interest.
We sincerely thank you for the support provided to our project! We are looking forward to our cooperation in preparation for the second edition of the Festival which we are tentatively planning for 2021.
We hope that you and your family and friends are well in these uncertain times!
Let’s keep in touch and stay safe!
