For these films, a special nomination was highlighted in the competition screening.

Also, competitive films and non-competitive screenings will feature animated films. As for the children’s program, a separate competition is planned for the day - it is dedicated to paintings created by the children themselves, which will be evaluated by a special children’s jury.
