VOICES Festival announces the beginning of the preparation of the 5th
Festival.
The result of agreements between all participants, such as the
Government of the Vologda region, Vologda City Administration and the French
company Globale, is an updated concept of the project, new ideas and new team
members. This year VOICES Festival opens on July 4th and closes on the
8th of July.
This year VOICES Festival has undergone some changes leaving the intact the
essence of the project - the best of European cinema and interesting guests. The
organizers have decided to bring some innovations in the concept of the
festival. Despite the fact that the budget for the project has not yet been
approved and it is difficult to say what resources the organizers will obtain,
it is already clear that they have a responsibility to do even better every year
for the city and to give more positive emotions. That's why VOICES
Administration invented many new ideas that everyone will hopefully enjoy.
The basis of the Festival - the most interesting novelties of European cinema
and interesting guests will remain. This year the festival will be dedicated to
British cinema, and the audience will get a lot of surprises. One of them will
be the return of Hugh Hudson, a famous British director, that was a President of
the Jury in 2011. Hugh Hudson will bring his interesting film works and friends!
Also, several changes will affect the format. This year the organizers will try
to make the Festival even closer to the people, will try to increase the number
of places for communication, create a new meeting points between the audience
and guests, as well as a significant change to quality of announcing films and
presenting them to an audience.
VOICES administration will soon lift the veil of secrecy over these innovations.
Another change within the Festival is a change of the Program Director. This
year beloved by audience and guests Igor Guskov will work in another project of
Globale - series of events Présence Française in the US. The highest level of
the program of the Festival will be provided by a team of curators and selectors
from Europe and Russia.
Very soon we will begin to acquaint you with new faces of VOICES.
