The 15th festival will open at the Anthology Film Archives on March 19th, at 3 pm. The main part of our program will be screened on our online platform – access to it will be available to those watching from the USA and Canada (for more information please visit www.rusdocfilmfest.org). The festival provides a space where the problems of the post-Soviet East European countries could be analyzed and reflected upon. The first part of our program will screen the past years’ winners – social documentaries that today carry a different meaning, a meaning vital for our new reality. These films are lessons – that we suggest our audience studies carefully. The second part of the festival’s program will screen films made in 2022. Films about the Russian opposition, the Ukrainian refugees, about the modern multiethnic diaspora – the full range of colors, opinions, and contexts. This year, for the first time, we do not list the country that produced the films we screen – all of our directors are currently in refugee status, and during 2022 they’ve moved around Europe, Asia, and the USA – many of them are still unsure what country or government are they themselves subjects of. They are citizens of the world. NO WAR!
