Отличный фестиваль, все авторы остались очень довольны организацией и отдачей, обязательно будем присылать новые картины и надеяться на успех!
We were very happy to have our film, American Orthodox receive the Finalist award for Best Documentary and having our film screened in Moscow. All of the people involved with MosFestFilm were very friendly, professional, and accessible. Thank you for this great festival.
We, the producers and directors of the film, "Faust - This Had Never Happened OR Resurrection of Angels with Broken Wings," are deeply grateful and delighted by the selection of our film for screening at the MosFestFilm festival. We congratulate you on this courageous and discerning choice to select and screen our anti-kitsch and avant-garde work. We wish for the continued success and increasingly magnificent annual realization of this esteemed festival. Sabina Shiari - Peyman Majidi
