The jury of the festival included outstanding representatives of the professional community: specialists in direction, theatre, post-production, and audio dubbing. The contestants were mostly students from Russia and Finland, but special guests this year were a delegation from Japan. "What amazed us most is the view of younger generation upon the current life. It is deeply touching how they perceive the world and it seems that the Japanese youth is concerned about the same problems as the Russian youth," – they shared.
