Films created with the money of the audience were shown at a free festival

ST. PETERSBURG. The first day of the Potential Shorts festival was held in the cultural and educational space of Okhta Lab.

The opening of the Potential Shorts film festival took place at the Okhta Lab educational site on November 12. Each of the paintings presented on it was able to take place thanks to the support of viewers who responded to the announcement of fundraising on a crowdfunding basis. On the first day of the film forum, viewers saw 7 short films. Roman Safin’s drama “G”, in the filming of which the fearless air operators Ravens and Konnov and skydivers performed risky stunts took part. An unopened parachute - an extreme test of relationships, an examination for humanity and courage. Dramedy “The Law of the Excluded Third” by Alexandra Sokolovskaya - a test for compatibility of members of a decaying family. Participation in the picture of the infinitely talented Julia Aug is an excuse not to miss a smart, ironic film.

Many participants of the festivals preferred to try themselves in the genre of black comedy. “A Nightmare at the Resort” by Alexander Ermolin is a fanciful mix of suspense and jokes in the rhythm of jazz on the seashore. Blotches of black humor are present in Nikita Tamarov’s debut short film Portfolio. Last year, the picture became the winner of the Kaliningrad festival "In short." Appeal to the housing office is a huge stress even for a maniac who is nostalgic at leisure over a collection of buttons of his victims. In Vasily Kossia, compassionate for the customers of Zhugov Zhukov “Pugovice”, the audience found an unbroken plot and a paradoxical selection of heroes. Olga Twilight’s “Corset” with Vadim Demchog in the title role is a steampunk thriller that refers to the works of Suskind, Coppola and Fowles. Fantasy on the theme of “Rooster” reincarnation is the third painting by Alexey Nuzhny. The girl who has lost her beloved is ready to see and regain him in the image of a rooster. Behind Nuzhny - victory in the Jameson First Shot. In his first film "Envelope" starred the famous American actor Kevin Spacey (Kevin Spacey). November 17 at the Angleterre Cinema Lounge - closing ceremony and demonstration of the second portion of author’s shorts.
