About the film festival

The Antares International Film Festival is a large-scale cultural project aimed at creating a unique platform for understanding and promoting the image of the working person in modern cinema.

The festival is aimed at a wide audience, from film industry professionals to viewers interested in social issues and inspiring stories about people who create the world around us. We want to provide an opportunity for filmmakers from different countries to present their works that reflect the diversity of professions, everyday work, heroism, and challenges faced by working people in various fields.

The festival creates a space for the exchange of experience and ideas between filmmakers, researchers, and representatives of various professions, contributing to a new perspective on the role of the Working Man in the modern world.

Why Antares? Antares is the brightest star in the night sky, a red supergiant that has been a guiding light for sailors for centuries. The ideas reflected in the films of the festival's competition program should guide the audience like guiding stars.

The competition program consists of feature films and documentaries, which will be evaluated by a professional international jury and selected as winners. The film festival's winners will receive film festival diplomas and "Antares" statuettes made of metal by the famous sculptor Grigory Pototsky.

The idea of creating the film festival belongs to the Association "Security and Quality" - a large association of Russian employers, for whom the greatest value is their employee - the Man of Labor.
