Moscow International Film Festival 
Moscow International Film Festival (MIFF) is held since 1959 and 
gradually it  has become one of most respectable and prestigious
film-forums in the world. In 1973 MIFF was registered by the
International Federation of Film-producers associations (FIAPF) as an
"A" class film festival alongside with those in Berlin, Cannes,
San-Sebastian, Karlovy Vary and Venice.

This is the fifth year Media Forum is organized as part of the Moscow
International Film Festival.  The role of new media in audiovisual 
art and culture received due recognition and Media Forum was 
immediately introduced into the official program of MIFF.

Media Forum is the first event of such scale in Russia and it reveals
a new vision of the world of new media culture and new screen
technologies to the professionals, critics and public in general. The
objective of Media Forum is to demonstrate the connection between
traditional and modern branches of screen culture, the impact of
technological innovations on visual arts.

Media Forum as action is an exchange of ideas, infusion of new forces
into contemporary culture and vice versa. It is an attempt to
demonsrtate the logic of new thought and new communications.  At the
moment it is inside  media culture that new ideas go through trial 
and approbation, ideas that cannot be realized in contemporary art
context.
