This week the Russian Seasons video platform will become a movie theatre, where everyone can see short films by young Russian filmmakers about family, friendship, kindness, beauty, and dreams. The screenings will be held on the official website of the Russian Seasons.
Cinema is primarily an art form. And the fundamental purpose of art is to empower people to create, inspire action, and share love and beauty.
On Tuesday, May 10 , we will present two movies about choices, actions and growing up. Business matter is a movie about a little boy caught up in a completely unknown world and faced with such a notion as competition. What will he choose: to stay a child or be an adult? Directed by Vlada Vasilyeva.
My Name is Petya is the second film of the evening, telling a touching story of kindness and compassion and how one moment can dramatically change a life.
On Thursday, May 12 , two short films will be broadcast that focus on human relationships. The movie Cassette tells the story of a family from Tyumen, which makes you think how important it is to properly guide a child and explain the good and the bad.
The movie Sounds is the story of how sounds, following each other, create special meanings: they can be caring, spirited, romantic, and even amorous.
The Zero Plus Film Festival and the Zeroplus.tv online movie theatre select feature films, animated films, and documentaries from around the world for children, teens, and family audiences. These are films about adventure, culture, nature, relationships, and learning. About 10,000 children and teenagers, parents and teachers attend the festival each year, and more than 100,000 watch the event online.
"The most valuable characteristic of a person is the inner world. What art, culture, and all the creative industries will be like depends on this beautiful and rich inner world. Cinema can contribute to the development of humans, and their creative potential. We are glad that we can make our little contribution to this process by finding and presenting good movies," says Nikolai Dunn, president of Zero Plus and member of the Public Council of the Ministry of Culture.
As usual, the broadcasts will be available at 19:00 CET.
