The 35th International Film Festival of Uruguay will be held from April 6th to 15th, 2017. "Spiridon" by Konstantin Abaev has been selected to the competition. CinePromo submits the movie to film festivals around the globe.
"Spiridon" has already participated in several film festivals in Russia and won 2 awards.
The International Film Festival of Uruguay aims to create and raise interest in cinema by introducing worthwhile films to a massive audience, making a positive contribution to the artistic forms of film and video, and stimulating intelligent film-viewing among the general public. It also aims to present films of merit which might not be otherwise shown in this region, to gain attention and publicity for the films screened and to assist in their wider distribution in this region. Its central purpose is to be a framework for meetings and discussions of regional projects of relevance and to promote better understanding among people and nations through the film medium.
The Festival is organized by Cinemateca Uruguaya, a member of FIAF (Fédération Internationale des Archives du Film), under the sponsorship of the Ministry of Education and Culture, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of Tourism and the City Council of Montevideo.

What is a man? Spiridon - who is he? A man beyond time without past or future? He merges with the surrounding space, becoming its part. What is the century now? Who governs the country? His will is concentrated on the rotation of the potter’s wheel. And nothing else matters. God's work is in his hands. Only things created by your own hands, not bought have the true value. If you give something away, it will live on.
