The General Director of the Media Group Vitaly Fedko, who was initially invited as a speaker, appreciated the initiative of the famous blogger Anton Golubchik and also supported it as the chairman of the jury. The jury of the festival was quite diverse, it included famous bloggers, producers, a rock musician and even one astrophysicist - a subtle and interesting environment of people from different realities appeared at the festival. Thanks to this, during the meetings, judging, interesting discussions and useful mutual exchange of views, deep and meaningful communications arose. The festival took place in a symbolic place for the city - in the building of Lennauchfilm. Master class by Vitaly Filippovich “Binary code. The Art of Content Creation ”received good reactions not only within the walls of Lennauchfilm, but also from the video broadcast, which attracted an even larger audience around the event. The theme was presented from the point of view of the fundamental principles of the existence of the world, without understanding which it is difficult for art to exist. And today, this view of the basic settings of the world is extremely important, since there are a lot of particulars around, which, of course, are useful, but do not make sense without a fundamental understanding. During the festival, a special screening of creative works of the subsidiary of the Media Group, the Korona Film studio was organized: Artifacts, Art Longs and the Message of the Four project. The General Director of War and Peace noted that: “It was useful to see these materials in the conditions of a movie screening, it made it possible to comprehend the elaboration of projects on the big screen, first of all, Messages, which have a“ wild ”potential.” As an “Authority Prize”, the Artifact genre received the prize “For the most unexpected decision in a new era of cinematography”. Also, during the entire festival, videos were broadcasted revealing the logic and content of the Topical TV Channel “War & Peace”. While Vitaly Fedko was refereeing, the general producer of the Media Group “War and Peace” Alexandra Stepanova communicated with the representatives of the jury and other participants of the festival. In particular, in the process of meetings and discussions, promising cooperation with Pavel Peregudov (“Producing independent film projects”) was outlined in terms of acquiring new and interesting content for the Topical TV channel “War & Peace”. They also considered the possibilities of cooperation with Anton Golubchik himself in terms of marketing the assets of the Media Group. Работы представленные на фестивале зачастую вызывали резонанс в обществе судейской команды, в ходе дискуссий не раз возникала проблематика критериев оценки. В целом, практически во всех номинациях были достойные работы, которые впоследствии и получили главные призы. Единственным разочарованием стал жанр документального кино, в данной номинации жюри единодушно решило оставить участников без призов. После фестиваля Виталий Филиппович, получивший в его рамках диплом “За вклад в развитие кино”, резюмировал: “Такие фестивали очень важны, потому что дают возможность увидеть состояние умов и, более того, состояние индустрии кино в целом. Достаточно заметным во время просмотра было ощущение подавленности и безысходности, это беспокоит, так как создатели представившие на суд свои работы - это в основном молодежь. Решения поставленных проблем зачастую локальны - в центре внимания индивидуальные судьбы. Крупных больших решений мало, а те которые были не достаточно сильные. Но все же по многим показателям поиски присутствовали практически во всех жанрах, не перестаю удивляться насколько люди нашей культуры несгибаемы и чтобы ни было они ищут и находят свежие неожиданные решения - это очень важно!” © 2014 Медиа группа "Война и Мир" Актуальный телеканал
