Screenings are taking place at the Rosa Khutor mountain resort, in Krasnaya Polyana, and on the federal territory of Sirius. They are dedicated to nature, environmental initiatives, and the relationship between humans and the environment. Viewers can expect the best Russian and foreign full-length and short films. Screenings are being held in 10 cities across the country, and the Sochi program includes films from Austria, Canada, Italy, the Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Russia, France, and Switzerland. Foreign films are shown with Russian subtitles.
"Today, it is more important than ever to talk about ecology not only at the level of theories but also through real stories shown by filmmakers from around the world. The ECOCUP festival provides an opportunity not only to see relevant documentaries but also to discuss them with experts and find solutions for local and global challenges. Sochi is not only a popular tourist resort with many recreational areas but also a major event platform for significant projects and events. In our city, where nature conservation is one of the key priorities, such initiatives are particularly valuable," noted Sergey Somko, Director of the Department of Resorts, Tourism, and Consumer Sphere of the Sochi City Administration.
Everyone can watch "green" cinema for free; all they need to do is register on the festival website. Screenings in Sochi will conclude on May 18th.
