About the film festival
The Antares International Film Festival is a new Russian film festival held annually in the city of Sochi. The uniqueness of the festival is that through the prism of the art of cinema, Antares draws attention to the daily problems of the common man. Different generations of cinematographers meet at the festival site, and the result of this synergy are new creative projects in different parts of the world.
The competition program consists of feature films, documentaries and animated films, which will be evaluated by a professional international jury and will select the winners. The main five prizes of the film festival are the statuette "Antares" by the famous sculptor Grigory Potocki, made in metal. The other laureates will receive a smaller copy of Antares and a diploma from the film festival.
Antares is the brightest star in the night sky, a red supergiant and a guiding landmark for navigators. The films presented at the film festival, like a guiding star, should become landmarks for all viewers.
