Introduction to the film festival

Russian Indie Film Festival (RUIFF) is the annual international film festival, which aim is to show the best indie short films from all over the World to the 5-million city of Saint-Petersburg, Russia. Our inaugural festival took place with great success on the 6th and 7th of October 2018 in one of the most popular, modern and famous places in Saint-Petersburg - ALEXANDRINSKY THEATRE'S NEW STAGE. The screenings were overcrowded by the audience. Here are the fotos from the event https://www.facebook.com/pg/RUIFFEST/photos/?ref=page_internal Here are the videos from the Awarding ceremony https://www.facebook.com/pg/RUIFFEST/videos/?ref=page_internal The prizes of the Festival are made by the artist from Saint-Petersburg Anna Yasinskaya http://anna-yasinskaya.ru/ On our second edition we include the screenplay competition with cash prize. RUIFF is non-profit, non-governmental event without: – any support from the government; – any discrimination of films and filmmakers on any basis (nationality, residence, profession, sex, age, faith, politics, theme of the film and so on).
