The autumn dates of the international film festival in Chukotka finalized
The organizing committee of the Golden Raven Arctic International Film Festival has finalized the new dates: the event will be held on October 3-16, 2022. Due to rescheduling, it was also decided to extend the submission deadline for competition programs of full-length and short feature and documentary films until July 31, 2022. Films produced in the last three years (2020, 2021, 2022) are eligible.

Filipp ABRYUTIN, Artistic Director of the Festival:

'This is a great opportunity to apply for those filmmakers who, for some reason, did not have time to do so earlier this year. We are ready to consider Arctic and North-themed films by Russian and international authors, as well as films by regional filmmakers made in Chukotka. We believe that the Chukotka.DOC Film Lab, held in March 2022, will contribute to ramping up filmmaking in the North.'

Like last year, the festival will be held with the support of the Ministry of Culture of the Russian Federation, the Presidential Fund for Cultural Initiatives, and the Government of the Chukotka Autonomous Area.
