New Holland Island International Debut Film Festival

The first New Holland Island International Debut Film Festival will take place on August 14–28, 2020. Due to the current epidemiological situation and a number of restrictions on holding mass events, as well as the temporary closure of St. Petersburg cinemas, all films of the competition programme, works of the jury members and some out of competition films will be shown online on the Nonfiction.film platform.

Short and feature competitions will be shown in full; the international jury will judge the programmes remotely, winners will be announced online and will receive the stated prizes.

All money raised from online screenings will be donated to the Nochlezhka charitable organisation that supports homeless people.

On August 17–22, the main stage of the Island will host several special free screenings. The schedule will be announced later.
