The results of "Artkino-2016". Best Short Films Named

MOSCOW. At the IX festival of copyright films "Artkino" winners in various categories were named.

In the capital, the first stage of the Artkino 2016 festival has come to an end. The second stage is a year-long movie marathon, which will be held in dozens of cities. The participants will be winners and diploma winners announced on the closing day of the Film Forum on October 3. A tenth of several hundred applications were submitted for participation in it - documentary, fiction and animated short films. 28 paintings received prizes and diplomas - about half of those presented in the competition.

Daria Razumnikova was awarded the prize for the game tape "Registrar", which tells about the standard paradox: work in the registry office and the lack of personal life can go hand in hand through life. The winners in the category "feature films" are also named by Andrei Taratukhin "I close my eyes" and "Yellow Tulips" by Yegor Kalinovsky. The well-deserved award for the best documentary went to Elena Pogrebizhskaya, who decided to figure out what it is like, “Life after retirement?” In Russia, how not to lose interest in life at an advanced age.

The winner in the experimental category - the film "Shirt" by Mikhail Yarovikov - answers the question of whether things that once belonged to man are vindictive and whether they can avenge. The best animated film is the work of Alexander Averyanov “Aside” - about life passing by a lost station lost in the wilderness. The participation of this film turned out to be successful in the X Festival “Vision” that just ended in Kemerovo. He won the Grand Prix there and received the support of the audience. The interest of the wide audience and the film “Bell and Flute” is guaranteed - a victory in the nomination “Best Director”. Too relevant and painful for Russia is the topic of alcoholism, which ricochets against millions of families and people’s destinies.

Traditionally, at “Artkino-2016” some results of the last festival were summed up. The Grand Prix of the professional jury was received by the participant of “Artkino-8” - Anna Goroyan’s film “Doctor”, the plot of which reflects the real events of the time of the Chechen war. It is about fidelity to the oath of Hippocrates, mercy and faith in miracles. The audience gave the most votes to the mystical drama of Ainur Askar “May the wind carry my words” about the mother’s curse. Winners of similar prizes of the current festival will become known next fall.
