The message reads, in part:
“Your festival is rightfully considered a vibrant event in the cultural life of our country and one of the most popular projects in the field of international humanitarian cooperation. For many years, it has introduced the audience to the classics of world cinema and the most brilliant films by contemporary directors, helping form a common cultural Eurasian space. And of course, the festival, its amazing programme, friendly and inspiring atmosphere and celebrity participants is always a wonderful event for residents and tourists of the Orenburg Region, for all film lovers.
I am sure that this creative forum will be successful and enrich its traditions with new ideas and initiatives, and its guests will have an excellent opportunity to plunge into the rich festival life and experience real art.”
