The application deadline for this year’s Message to Man competition is extended to July 15, 2024. The Festival will be held in St. Petersburg from October 18 to October 27.
Filmmakers have the opportunity to submit their works to one of the three competition sections: International, National, and the In Silico Experimental Film Competition.
“There’s no such thing as too much good cinema. The Message to Man’s programming team is on a constant, exciting search for it. That’s why we have decided to continue accepting submissions for all competition sections for two more weeks. It is a short period, but it gives you, our dear filmmakers, enough time to send us your great work, if you haven’t already done so. We look forward to it!”
Programme Director of the Message to Man Festival
