“In the context of growing contradictions between
East and West and the intransigence of certain political figures, all
the hope is art — said at the ceremony, the Chairman of the jury Brian Cox. And salvation is what the creators create
works that are understood by different creators, they convey the idea to everyone and
of each, creating new bonds of understanding. And all this — against the current
political climate. That is why it is so important to maintain
initiatives such as this festival. I am proud to be part of it
holiday movies!”
