Boruсh Gorin, member of the festival’s public council, head of the FJCR public relations department:

I had the pleasant honor to present the Honorary Award for outstanding contribution to the development of Jewish cinema in Russia. Jewish is often confused with what is done by the Jews. But in fact, Jewish is something that touches on the Jewish theme. This year we are handing this prize to Dmitry Astrakhan, the man who makes Jewish cinema in Russia.
