I`m happy to welcome you to The International Film Festival «People and Environment». Documentary – a special kind of art, undeservedly underestimated by many people. But true connoisseurs understand the significance of similar events for our society. We thank all, who shares this way with us. Every year issues of environmental condition of our planet are sharpened and became the most important for Government decision. More and more disputes flare up around this topic, so more important than ever is to speak to each other in cinema language. The Film Festival «People and Environment» not only raises significant environmental issues and their understanding with the cinema means, but, what is more important, becomes a platform for negotiations in solving problems.

Presently environmental issues are more urgent, responsibility of citizens is increased. Nevertheless, consumer`s attitude to the nature is not eradicated until the end. Issues of natural resources preservation, careful attitude to resources are in the forefront.

I heartily welcome guests and participants of the Film Festival «People and Environment». This year the Festival has two the most important changes. The First – Festival became a part of The Second Baikal International Ecological Water Forum, it gives us an opportunity to show our films to the leading experts in the field of ecology not only of our country, but also to foreign guests. Long ago we dreamed about it and this step towards each other of filmmakers, ecologists, politicians, worrying about the nature of our country, finally came to pass. We believe, in some time this platform becomes a place for showing of modern technologies, united with environmental issue, which could help people to save their nature and their life. The Second – thanks to the administration of Irkutsk region and personally to the governor Sergey Levchenko, financing of the most important for Siberia Ecological Forum was increased, it gave opportunity for introducing of two new nominations – «Feature Film» on environmental themes and relationship between people and nature, «Socio-ecological video» about the moral attitude to the environment. Besides, this Festival has prizes named after our outstanding compatriots (Mikhail Romm and Leonid Gayday), who with Valentin Rasputin were born in Irkutsk. I believe, this new impulse will raise the status of the Festival and we begin our way to get in the top three festivals in the world, combined with ecology. This is a hard task, but Siberians are strong, ambitious and proud, so I think we will manage it.

Sergey Miroshnichenko Director, president of «People and Environment» Film Festival
