Kansk video festival

It is not just a video festival, but an all-out experiment in time and space. The venue is a small town of Kansk which was found on the Internet and chosen accidentally: in consonance with the name of the French festival. A joke made a legend that in Russia there will be its own Kan Festival. The idea came true in 2002. The festival is annual, international, with a rich programme, a severe international jury and a supply of new ideas for more than 150 years. This is a festival in which young uncompromising directors and artists take part. A festival with an eye to the future. 

Kansk video festival was created in 2002 and for this time it grew a lot in demand and popularity. Kansk probably experienced a kind of cultural revolution. Though, in comparison with others, such revolution can be considered as positive, since owing to it people develop from a cultural point of view, get to know its benefits.
