Dear Ones
Focus: Feature films is a competition of full-length acting films with distinctively original style. Both young and experienced filmmakers will compete for the prize. This year, 7 films from 6 countries will take part in the competition.
The screening combined with the Benshi project. Benshi are film enthusiasts discussion meetings. If you love the cinema – join us. Seek inspiration. Inspire.
Where does the name Benshi come from? Where the cinema appeared in Japan, a special office was established – a narrator and an interpreter of the film events. And because the foreign movies were quite a of cultural puzzle for Japanese audience, they helped them understand the content, thus completing the reception of the work. This office was called Benshi.
