The VIII International Film Festival named after Andrey Tarkovsky "The Mirror"
The festival is dedicated to the modern indie movies. This year the emphasis will be put on the women theme in films – each year more and more women filmmakers appear in the world who assert themselves as bright creators. Some of them are inspired by the works of Andrey Tarkovsky. Exactly those makers are invited by the festival committee to come to the festival in 2014.
The programme includes the competition, retrospectives, the panorama of Russian and foreign movies, animation. The video art programme this year will be jointly organized with Moscow Institute of Contemporary Art. The presentation of the movie “Hard to be a god” will become the special event of the festival.
Some 25 thousand people annually participate in the festival events (film showing, artistic meetings, opening and awarding ceremonies, creative programmes).
