International Documentary Film Festival
Founded in 2010 as a music documentary showcase, Beat has grown into a vibrant city-scale film event with over 30,000 admissions that presents major international documentary titles with a strong audience appeal, more experimental works playing with art and hybrid forms, and brand new voices from young Russian cinema with a potential to be heard around the globe. Beat Film Festival celebrates works of emerging filmmakers as well as films of prominent directors and helps make them known to the Russian audience.
