Many actors admit that due to hard work and not always
time to watch movies, especially movies that relate to
the category of “auteur cinema”. But Kirill Safonov received the opportunity, as
member of the jury of the competition program “Shake” on the First new Russian festival “BITTER
fest”.

However, for this, he almost had to settle in
the cinema where screenings take place. After just three days he and other members of the jury,
including Vladimir Khotinenko, Michelskeho Sergei and Alyona Solntseva should
to watch the whole program. They will work even on the closing day of the show
the competition films will be completed a few hours before the red carpet.
