Festival start: 21 March 2020      Festival end: 22 March 2020

The TRAVEL FILM In Russian international film festival collects the best travel films from around the world, which were created both by professionals and by enthusiasts, and helps to get them across to the Russian speaking audience. In the world there are 162 million people whose native language - Russian.

Another 110 million are fluent in Russian. They live not only in Russia and the former republics of the Soviet Union, but also worldwide.

All films must be in Russian. Alternatively, have the Russian subtitles (with the exception of all films without words), regardless of the country of production. If you do not know how to translate the subtitles in Russian language, the film can be downloaded in English or with English subtitles in a special category.

We will translate all officially selected films from English to Russian FREE OF CHARGE. You just have to give us complete dialogue list.

Our festival is held all year round. The provisional results are summed up once per quarter, at the end of the season - winter, spring, and summer. Every autumn the best films are shown on a big screen, and the winners are determined. 

The films, which were selected to participate in the festival, will be uploaded to be displayed on our website and in the social networks - as a complete artwork (only with the consent of the author) or as a trailer for the wide view and discussion.

We admit only the films about travels, both modern and historical ones. As well as those films, where travel is an important part of the synopsis.

All officially selected films will be shown on the big screen during the solemn final ceremony on March 21-22, 2020 in Moscow, Russia and will be able to struggle for the main prize and the title of the "Best travel film in Russian". As well as for the prizes in the standalone nominations.
