The International Film Festival "Catharsis" will be held for two weeks at more than 15 venues (cultural centers, film clubs and libraries) in several Russian cities: Moscow, St. Petersburg, Ekaterinburg, Penza, Vladimir, Novosibirsk, Pskov, Vladivostok.
The tagline of the festival: “Film production with meaning!”
Every film, videoclip or public service announcement that is chosen will be shown at several venues. The festival accepts films of any genre. There will be separate programs for films on human rights, films for children and screenings, films for up to 120 seconds. We also accept Music Videos, public service announcements, and posters.
Part of the funds will cover organizational expenses and some money will be sent to charitable funds for sick children.
