Festival closing

On November 19, the closing ceremony of the XVII international open festival of student films “PeterKiT” took place. Our festival has come to an end, but you should not get upset, because next year we will meet again at this bright creative venue of St. Petersburg!

& laquo;PeterKiT » passed in the same breath, it seemed, just yesterday we were preparing for the opening, and in three days we had 97 works of the competitive program, 89 of which were Russian.

This year the festival was attended by students of famous Russian film schools, such as the Gerasimov All-Russian State Institute of Cinematography, the Higher Courses of Scriptwriters and Film Directors, the Academy of Cinematographic and Theatrical Art of N.S.

In the program of the festival, in addition to film screenings and the main competitive program, master classes were held by producer Alena Mareyeva, a cameraman, laureate of the state prize of the Russian Federation Yuri Viktorovich Klimenko. Russian director, screenwriter, producer Sergey Leonidovich Zaitsev, head of the international talent selection department DreamWorksAnimation & nbsp; Shelly Paige, a cartoon artist, screenwriter, People’s Artist of the Russian Federation Andrei Khrzhanovsky, and a master class for a cameraman, winner of two State Prizes of the Russian Federation Sergei Astakhov. In addition to the master classes, a scientific-practical conference, a theater evening, and a round table were held, moderated by the artist, art historian, professor, member of the international association of art critics Richard Comte. We hope that every participant of the festival has found something new, useful and interesting for these three rich creative days.

The festival thanks the Committee on Youth Policy and Interaction with NGOs of St. Petersburg represented by Renata Yurievna Abdulina for their assistance in holding the festival.

"The days of the XVII festival" PeterKiT "have flown by." This is a storm of emotions, a lot of impressions, I want all the participants to express their gratitude for the palette of genres that you have presented with your works. For the fact that you raised issues of the struggle between good and evil, the theme of love, for covering the civil human position in your works. And I congratulate all the participants, regardless of who became the winner! This is an incredible platform, a platform for starting where you can show all your talent, and, of course, I would like to wish you creative success, and in no case dwell on what has been achieved. Move forward to new victories and heights! & Raquo;
