HALO International Film Festival is festival with live screenings. Every season we're selecting best works that will run in program and screened in the famous cultural space of Machty in Sevkabel port, St. Petersburg

On May 19, the Halo Festival will host a screening in Sevkabel port, Saint-Petersburg and on 23 May in Monkey Space, Orenburg

The main goal of the Halo Festival is to create a space for introductions and future collaborations.

We want viewers and filmmakers to meet in person, so every season we hold Q&A sessions with the authors of the films. And after the screenings, we organize after-parties, where you can socialize and make new connections in an informal atmosphere.

Submit your applications and we'll see you at the festival!
