About

The task of the Film Festival of Festivals "Buddyfilmfestival" is to gather in a single space of film festivals lovers and connoisseurs of cinema, animation, Russia, and to show through the language of cinema all the facets, possibilities and power of the human Spirit and the Power of its possibilities.

There are approximately 157,000 inhabited localities in the country. Russia borders 18 states worldwide (sixteen by land and two by sea)

 

Russian, considering the multinational nature of its population, is characterized by a high degree of ethnocultural diversity and the ability for intercultural dialogue. Russia's multinational culture is an integral part of world culture. According to UN estimates, Russia is one of the countries with the richest cultural heritage.

When you live in a country with such a rich cultural heritage, it's only natural to want to continue and pass on these traditions from generation to generation. Preserving traditions is the Spirit of a Country. It's the foundation that everything else stands on. Without traditions, history, and culture, there is no Whole - no country. Geographically, it may exist, but it becomes vulnerable to external forces and is easily destroyed.

What do we want to say with our film festival "BudRussia"?
