On September 12, the closing ceremony of the New Season online film festival took place at the Rosa Khutor resort. Let us remember that for almost a week the platforms presented new projects (20 films in total), which all guests of the festival could see and then vote on in the “New Season” application. Let’s add that the films screened at the festival have not yet been released and will be presented exclusively on various online platforms.
On the occasion of the closing, the organizers of the New Season, producers, directors, cameramen, scriptwriters, actors and simply guests of the festival met in the Rosa Hall concert hall. Among the stars were Daria Moroz, Maxim Matveev, Andrei Merzlikin, Sergei Burunov, Alla Sigalova, Vladimir Yaglich and many others.

“The most anticipated series” was announced by Andrey Merzlikin. The actor began by joking: “It’s a good name for the series. For the first seven years I watched Goodnight Little Ones, I liked the first few seasons. Then I went to school and again something went wrong and then it was fine again. We came here during beach season and we are leaving for ski season. And thanks to all the organizers and actors! “You tore my heart.”

“I can now officially include the word “director” on my resume. It’s great to be open to colleagues at 40 years old. Thanks to the festival, Slava Dusmukhametov, thanks to my team, thanks to OKK, for what everyone will see soon. As an artist, I am very damaging. I always appreciate professionalism and it turns out that it has helped me a lot in the director’s profession. My dad told me, “Don’t become an artist, but now I can say it was a journey from start to finish,” Daria Moroz said.
