The 5th VOICES Film Festival was opened on July 4th in Vologda. During the first two days of the festival the audience managed to see about 30 movies, 4 competitive films, 2 photo exhibitions, 5 workshops, one 'red carpet' and one big concert at the Kremlin square. Before the opening of the Festival Svetlana Proskurina, The President of Jury, set the tone: "The most desired, ringing things are organized on the periphery, on the sidelines, like here and now in Vologda. I remember the words of Alexander Sokurov that the main purpose of Festivals is missing, they have become too commercial. Do not forget that the festivals were always made for the pioneers. So for me VOICES is this workspace and the search of cinematic language."

Svetlana Proskurina, The President of the Jury, has commented on choosing the winners: "We had a good time handing out the awards. For example, the award did not meet the best actress. Although, a prize was given to the actor's ensemble. There's no best director prize, but we awarded the best operator. As for the winner, the film "Still Life" was chosen unanimously. In this film director Uberto Pasolini allowed himself to be austere. And the dignity of his film is a dignity of the frame."
